It was by inviting us to compare Le grand bleu [The Big Blue] and Palombella rossa [Red Wood Pigeon] that Serge Daney concluded his 1980s[.] […] [W]hile aphasic, “self-legitimatising” individuals retreat into Bessonian depth, a people “sick with language” forms on the Morettian surface. […] For Daney, “Red Wood Pigeon is a great film and Nanni Moretti the most precious of filmmakers.”

C’est en nous invitant à comparer Le grand blue et Palombella rossa que Serge Daney conclut ses années 80. [...] Dans la profondeur bessonienne s’isolent des individus aphasiques “auto-légitimés”, alors qu’à la surface morettienne se forme un peuple “malade du langage”. [...] Pour Daney, Palombella rossa est un grand film et Nanni Moretti le plus précieux des cinéastes.
