Review of La Ronde (1950) by Edgar C — 09 Jul 2011
Several related "liebelei" blossom in front of the screen and the turn-of-the-century Vienna is now proven to be Ophül's favorite scenario to construct his forbidden and passionate stories, this time in a free-flowing and episodic manner. The merry-go-round is the most perfect allegory of the romance existent in the world; we may change our spot or sit on another horse, it may go fast or slow, there may be technical difficulties, but in the end, the story repeats itself over and over again, and we belong to the same cycle. Walbrook is a brilliant male version of cupid.
99/100.
