In Reply to: Re: Well, my dear Patrick, I'm in love again! Again this brain waves... posted by Victor Khomenko on December 07, 2003 at 08:03:17:
Lola was not so good.
But La Ronde was wonderful a fluid camera, an humanism that must be near to your soul, very well played.A must.
Madame de... was good
Le Plaisir too look at
Lettre d´une inconnue I have seen more than one time ago, I just bought.
And a lot of other films all in all not enough praised for this exceptionnal quality.
A must.
But if you only have to see one, go for La Ronde.
It won´t takes many words after you have seen it!
Follow Ups:
Also included the Earings of Madame De...Will let you know.
Good.
And now you will feel the futility of things that have passed and that has to come...It is melancolie the way we can feel it...Motherland that we bury and carry in us.
We had a discussion over lunch with my wife regarding Zweig and his work. She felt the Letter was way too sentimental to make any reasonable foundation of a good movie... do you agree? Judging from my memory and her quotes, this is true. How does the movie avoind that ridiculous sentimentality?We also touched on Amok... there have been several movies made on that novel - but I don't recall seeing any... do you?
In particular, the 1993 one with Fanny Ardant sounds intriguing...
Any thoughts?
Well, I may have a faiblesse for sentimentality....But your wife is right from her point of view it is certainly so...Zweig was at best with History and wrote very good books on .
Zweig was my liebling when I was 22 or so. I read a lot from him then, and I made friend with him. I read a lot on his tragic end in South America documented with photos after his suicide with his wife.
Amok, no. Nothing.
And now to the letters.
I don't think I touched Zweig since I was twenty or so, but fortunately I have my wife here - quicker than checking any encyclopedia! :-)Take a look at this one:
http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0106263/
Do you know the director?
nt
I did already check! After your post!
Now to " Lettre a une inconnue "...
It is a melodram, Sirk did continue in this way later.
Max Ophuls transformed the novel, that is what I had remember after the very few first shots.
Schnitzler, Maupassant and now Zweig it is the same sadness, the same humanism, Joan Fontaine ( née de Havilland ) has the same romantic ambiguité as in Hitch ´s Suspicion and Rebecca and en particulier the last.
It is the story of lost and missed, on the verge of being masochistic.
Louis Jourdan a dark and a beau as always wooden but not without charm.
A film that lives you empty.
Only if you want to be feel all the wrongs of the world, and looking back at a time where society impose itself as a rule of life..that may have change, but we...not.
