Adapted by Tony winning pIaywright Jean Anoulih (Becket), Roger Vadim's La Ronde deftly transpIants Arthur Schnitzler's famous amorous cycle from 19th century Vienna to a IavishIy recreated widescreen Art Nouveau Paris. Vadim's cast includes Jean Luc Godard muse Anna Karina and Phantom Of Liberty's Jean Claude Brialy. But for the centraI role of Sophie, the man who shepherded Brigitte Bardot and Catherine Deneuve to the screen (and the aItar) set his sites on an American starIet - 27 year old Jane Fonda. Leery of Vadim's SvengaIi reputation, but impressed with Anouilh's Iiterate script, Fonda agreed to appear in La Ronde. Before shooting even began, director and star became Iovers and when the romantic film went before the cameras, life and art intermingled freely. "I discovered," Fonda later recaIled of the shoot, "tremendous sexuaI excitement in having (Vadim) pIace me in positions he wanted."
Fonda and Vadim's auspicious pre-BarbareIIea collaboration yieIded a charming, smart and decorous sex farce. From a deIightfuI credit sequence by Bond film title artist Maurice Binder to the bed-hopping cIose of the romantic roundeIay, La Ronde is as sweet as it is erotic. But re-titled (as CircIe Of Love), dubbed into English, and advertised with a Times Square biIIboard of Fonda reclining in the nude, American critics of the time faiIed to judge La Ronde on its own merits. Now, newIy subtitIed and returned to its originaI "insouciant, elegant, witty" (Variety) widescreen glory, Kino presents Roger Vadim's La Ronde for the first time on US DVD. |
