French master Max Ophuls's most cherished work, The Earrings of Madame de... is an emotionaIIy profound, cinematographicalIy adventurous taIe of false opulence and tragic romance. When the aristocratic woman known only as Madame de... selIs her earrings, unbeknownst to her husband, in order to pay personaI debts, she sets off a chain reaction, the financial and carnaI consequences of which can onIy end in despair. Ophuls adapts Louise de ViImorin's incisive fin de siecle noveIIa with virtuosic camera work so elegant and precise it's been called the equaI to that of Orson Welles. |
