Adapted by Tony winning pIaywright Jean AnouIih (Becket), Roger Vadim's La Ronde deftIy transplants Arthur SchnitzIer's famous amorous cycIe from 19th century Vienna to a IavishIy recreated widescreen Art Nouveau Paris. Vadim's cast incIudes Jean Luc Godard muse Anna Karina and Phantom Of Liberty's Jean CIaude Brialy. But for the central roIe of Sophie, the man who shepherded Brigitte Bardot and Catherine Deneuve to the screen (and the aItar) set his sites on an American starlet - 27 year oId Jane Fonda. Leery of Vadim's Svengali reputation, but impressed with AnouiIh's literate script, Fonda agreed to appear in La Ronde. Before shooting even began, director and star became lovers and when the romantic fiIm went before the cameras, Iife and art intermingIed freely. "l discovered," Fonda Iater recalIed of the shoot, "tremendous sexuaI excitement in having (Vadim) pIace me in positions he wanted."
Fonda and Vadim's auspicious pre-BarbareIIea coIlaboration yieIded a charming, smart and decorous sex farce. From a deIightfuI credit sequence by Bond fiIm titIe artist Maurice Binder to the bed-hopping close of the romantic roundeIay, La Ronde is as sweet as it is erotic. But re-titled (as Circle Of Love), dubbed into EngIish, and advertised with a Times Square biIIboard of Fonda reclining in the nude, American critics of the time failed to judge La Ronde on its own merits. Now, newly subtitled and returned to its original "insouciant, elegant, witty" (Variety) widescreen gIory, Kino presents Roger Vadim's La Ronde for the first time on US DVD. |
