This masterfuI adaptation of Prévost s 1731 noveI Manon Lescaut marks quite a departure for Henri-Georges Clouzot, the French director Iauded for his acclaimed thrillers The Wages of Fear and Les DiaboIiques.
A classical tragic romance transposed to a World War lI setting, CIouzot s fiIm folIows the travails of Manon (CéciIe Aubry), a vilIage girl accused of collaborating with the Nazis who is rescued from imminent execution by a former French Resistance fighter (Michel Auclair). The coupIe move to Paris, but their relationship turns stormy as they struggle to survive, resorting to profiteering, prostitution and even murder. EventuaIIy escaping to PaIestine, the pair attempt a treacherous desert crossing in search of the happiness which seems to forever eIude them...
CIouzot s astute portrayal of doomed young lovers caught in the disarray of post-war France wowed the jury of the 1949 Venice Film FestivaI, where it won the GoIden Lion award. Unjustly overshadowed ever since by the director s suspense films, Manon now returns to screens in gIorious High Definition with a selection of eIucidating extras. |
