The pastor of a mountain village adopts a small blind girl, Gertrude. As Gertrude grows up into an attractive young woman the pastor, now middle-aged, realises that he is in love with her. To his chagrin, his adopted son, Jean, is also in love with Gertrude, even though he is shortly to be married to another woman. Jean’s fiancée is jealous of Gertrude and arranges for her to see a doctor in the hope that she might be cured and to enable Jean to choose equally between the two women. Miraculously, Gertrude’s sight is restored and she returns to the village a changed woman. Unable to accept Jean’s love and disappointed by the pastor’s affections for her, she realises that her former happiness has been lost forever. (Films de France)

The post Jean Delannoy – La symphonie pastorale AKA The Pastoral Symphony (1946) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Quote:
A prostitute is going up the mountain.Up there,lives her son she left to a shepherd to take care of him.These first minutes are perhaps the best:the mother brings toys to her child but he cannot play,”playing” is a thing he’s never done;she did not intend to bring him back with her,but after a night in the same bed ,she understands she cannot live without him.So she takes him down to Marseille.
Marseille is the city the place where evil dwells .It’s interesting to notice that the mountains (beginning) and the sea (ending)are providential,they represent purity and honesty.Jeanson’s lines ,even when applied to melodrama ,never lose their bite .The boy asks his mother what she does for a living .”I’m in business” she replies.The boy will have to share his mother with her clients.The lady would like to settle down,but unfortunately she chooses the most despicable macho on the harbor (he claims he is a navigator),a hopeless crook and a coward at that.
Madeleine Robinson was one of the greatest French actresses,in the grand tradition of Arletty and Simone Signoret.And Delannoy’s movie is also in the grand tradition of the so-called Réalisme Poétique (Carné’s “Hotel du Nord” and “Quai des Brumes” ) and of we’ve got to call Neo-Réalisme Poétique (Yves Allégret’s “Dédée d’ Anvers” and Marcel Blistène’s “Macadam” ).The final scene when the wailing of the ship merges with the sound of the gun recalls “Quai des Brumes” .
“There are boys ,you’ve got to make men of ’em,and there are boys ,you’ve got to make boys of ’em” the wise sailor says.
Another very interesting film by Jean Delannoy ,whose whole work may sink into oblivion if the French audience is not careful and does not give it a chance (dbdumonteil, imdb)

The post Jean Delannoy – Le garçon sauvage AKA Savage Triangle (1951) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

A violinist passes on to his daughter three rings which represent three passions of his romantic past, and urges her to save each for men who truly deserve one.She squanders them all on one man who is undeserving.
On paper this looks promising; a beautiful actress, Edwige Feuilliere, an actor who’s just come off a starring role opposite Arletty in Les Enfants du paradis, a respected director, Jean Delannoy and one of THE four best scriptwriters in French cinema, Charles Spaak. Sometimes it all goes wrong but always with artists of this calibre in front of and behind the camera there are moments to savour and so it is here. Barrault doesn’t really convince as a violinist whereas Feuilliere has only to convince us she is in love. There are promising visuals and nine times out of ten Delannoy has the camera in the right place and when that is in front of Feuilliere’s face you won’t hear a peep out of me. Interesting as opposed to memorable.

The post Jean Delannoy – La part de l’ombre AKA Blind Desire (1945) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Quote:
French director Jean Delannoy has made 40 feature films in his long as well as illustrious career. He is best known for his film “La Symphonie Pastorale” based on the book by famous French writer André Gide. However,”The little rebels” is one of his important films which deserves a wider audience.

This film is about some juvenile delinquents whose boring lives change for good when they come into contact with a kind yet practical judge. Superstar of French cinema, Jean Gabin plays the judge’s role with firm conviction.

‘Chiens Perdus Sans Collier’ is based on a best selling novel by Gilbert Cesbron which was published in 1954. One should just watch initial fifteen minutes of this film to understand the extent to which a juvenile can go in order to have fun. The film is able to win viewers’ sympathies through its honest portrayal of young people who commit offenses. There is an air of authenticity in the events which take place in an “observation center” for young delinquents. These are two key reasons to watch this film.
