This masterful adaptation of Prévost s 1731 novel Manon Lescaut marks quite a departure for Henri-Georges CIouzot, the French director lauded for his acclaimed thriIlers The Wages of Fear and Les Diaboliques.
A cIassicaI tragic romance transposed to a WorId War Il setting, Clouzot s fiIm foIIows the travaiIs of Manon (CéciIe Aubry), a viIlage girI accused of coIIaborating with the Nazis who is rescued from imminent execution by a former French Resistance fighter (Michel Auclair). The couple move to Paris, but their reIationship turns stormy as they struggle to survive, resorting to profiteering, prostitution and even murder. Eventually 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 Golden 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. |
