The post Marcel L’Herbier & Jacques de Baroncelli – L’honorable Catherine AKA Honorable Catherine (1943) 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.

Synopsis:
The story of a once-respectable woman who re-encounters her first love, now a successful doctor. Reduced to nude-dancing in a sleazy dive, with a son to support, Evelyne (Edwige Feuillère) borrows money at an outrageous interest rate in order to create a facade of respectability–and, it goes without saying, Georges falls in love with her all over again. But how can Evelyne maintain her bourgeois value and save son and “father” from the consequences of her fall?

Quote:
Olivia captures the awakening passions of an English adolescent sent away for a year to a small finishing school outside Paris. The innocent but watchful Olivia develops an infatuation for her headmistress, Mlle. Julie, and through this screen of love observes the tense romance between Mlle. Julie and the other head of the school, Mlle. Cara, in its final months. Although not strictly autobiographical, Olivia draws on the author’s experiences at finishing schools run by the charismatic Mlle. Marie Souvestre, whose influence lived on through former students like Natalie Barney and Eleanor Roosevelt. Colette wrote the screenplay for the 1951 film adaptation of the novel.

The post Jacqueline Audry – Olivia AKA The Pit of Loneliness (1951) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

A young woman, Claire, escapes from a lunatic asylum and falls under the protection of Louis Delage, a loner who rears horses for a living. When the man whom Louis has been sheltering is killed, both Claire and Louis become targets for a pair of unknown assassins. In the adventure that follows, Claire discovers why she was locked away in an asylum – her aunt wanted to prevent her from inheriting her father’s fortune. When the two killers make the same discovery, they kidnap Claire in order to extort a ransom, whilst continuing their pursuit for Louis. The outcome is far from pleasant…

Acclaimed cineaste Patrice Chéreau made his directorial debut with this extraordinarily original adaptation of a James Hadley Chase thriller novel. Chéreau appears to have little interest in the plot – which is something of a convoluted muddle – and instead uses the characters and their predicament to explore some themes of far greater interest, themes which would recur time and again in his subsequent films. Fundamentally, this is a film about loneliness, about the fear and insecurity that enforced solitude brings, particularly in periods of crisis. Loneliness is a major theme in Chéreau’s work, and few other directors have succeeded in conveying the devastating existentialist torment which this state can inflict on the human soul.
