Review of Trouble in Paradise (1932) by Darryl J — 13 Oct 2008
Why is Lubitsch so perfect? His films are some of the most lovable that I've ever watched. I immediately want to watch them again and again! The story in this is so cleverly constructed. There were a handful of surprises and twists that I never guessed.
The performances were pitch perfect. They all had this level of sophistication and grace,that seemed like it would unravel at any second,but they somehow never managed to falter in the least bit. This entire film had that feeling.
I loved the camerawork in this. It's has the "floaty" feeling that I love. There were so many wonderful editing techniques.The sequence where they show Mariette and Gaston in all the different mirrors and then their silhouettes is just an example of how technically outstanding this is.
The ending,once again,impressed the hell out of me. I'm a clear lover of "The Lubitsch Touch".
