Great film, natural light

This is a beautifully shot film with a french script that's human and personal, comical, ironic, subliminally absurd and slavic. Personal stories intertwine with a comic hotel plot to take care of a special guest, the party auditor. Purposes cross and the auditor is turned on his head.

The film is often in natural light, preserving the feeling of the locations.

Great sarcastic fun

A gem for a perfect description of Brezhnevian Communism gone stale and about to take a jump in the dustbin of history.

Dialogue is just great and cult quotes abound (sadly lost for those without knowledge of French). Not to mention epiphany situations, e.g. various party members comparing their various party membership cards/levels to assert their respective authority until one settles it by saying "we're all party members in this room but are you KGB, comrade?".
