1. Film Review Maurice Speed, James Cameron-Wilson - 1994 - Page 69 0863698425 "Her blissful adult life, she discovers, has been a lie. By humanising and concentrating Emma's pain, The Lie is a devastatingly credible antidote to the flash anger of Cyril Collard's Savage Nights, both films exposing the harsh reality of AIDS in France today. The Lie is supplemented by an exceptionally intelligent array of performances, never strikes a false note and is all the more astounding as it marks the directorial debut of Francois Margolin. One of the most moving films of the year."
