LACMA says…

Resnais returned from a long hiatus with this voluptuous film based on the real story of Serge Alexandre Stavisky, a small-time swindler whose big connections elevated him to the level of international financier, and whose downfall caused a major political scandal that almost undid the French government in 1933. Set in the seaside resort of Biarritz and boasting elegant art deco sets and a Sondheim score, Resnais’s Stavisky is no mere biography but an opulently staged and delicately constructed meditation on the fragility of time.
