Review of La Ronde (1950) by Ben W — 02 Feb 2010
A postwar sex film....if you can believe that. ophuls tells an episodic tale starting with a prostitute and from there each character progressively finds another lover until we eventually end up where we began, hence the title, la ronde.
ophuls camera movements, though not as sophisticated as they were in his later earrings of madame de... are so french, the fluid movements, slightly soft focus. its a film that is simply a pure joy to watch if you are already a little jaded.
they really just dont make em like this any more.
