Overview

Jean has been married to Francoise for years, but his relationship with his wife has been all but over for a long time. She's hardly ever around, always traveling to Russia for work, and she drifts in and out of the film as well, reflecting the ephemeral nature of their marriage.

The notion that "love means never having to say you're sorry" sits there bleeding, a stake right through its broken heart.

David Fear, Time Out New York

Pialat compared the structure of We Won't Grow to that of Ravel's "Bolero" for the gradually increasing fortissimo of its subtly varied-yet-repetitious phrases, variations that here show as a gradual shift in the balance of power.
