In Reply to: Le Notte Bianchi´s Luchino Visconti film is---- posted by patrickU on January 6, 2006 at 04:32:25:
anti-Hollywood acting of Marais, the economy of his style allowing his fierce physical presence to be the more powerful. I thought it provided a terrific antidote to Mastroianni's emotiveness and made a dramatic contrast which defined Schell's dilemma.
A man adrift in a cold landscape... it is still the predicament of modern man, is it not? Obscured by Clouds (La Vallee) showed the distance we've covered. The simple joys depicted in that film seem so much more attractive than those in Visconti/Antonioni/De Sica/ and other post-war Italian directors' worlds.
Follow Ups:
Yes, granted Visconti did made a good use of his being woody, the only problem for me is
that he is always this way, in any of his acting.
And Cocteau did make a better job on him ( ! ) avec La belle .....
On the whole a bit too academic.
Why did not come Marais come on the day that was fixed? How did she knows where he worked, why, why... it let this appears more as an exercise of style.No, I do not feel this film to have much power, unlike others you cited, it just lack what Italians films have a plenty...
may have detracted from the "mystery." After all, we know far less about those we love than we think (wow, I'm dangerously close to French-babble there...).
Love in itself is a very mysterious story.
The hazard of love...
