synopsis
To settle her debts, Madame de… sells to a jeweller a pair of earrings given to her by her husband, then pretends to have lost them. The earrings’ journey will have dramatic consequences…
Classique et avant-gardiste, grave et élégant, Madame de… est un incontestable chef-d’œuvre sur le sentiment d’être ‘perdue dans un univers qui ne finit pas d’être’.
Critikat
Ophuls's camera style is famous for its physicalization of time, in which every fleeting moment is recorded and made palpable by the ceaseless tracking shots, yet his delineation of space is also sublime and highly charged.
Chicago Reader
One of the most mannered and contrived love movies ever filmed. It glitters and dazzles, and beneath the artifice it creates a heart, and breaks it.
Roger Ebert
