A Sumptuous and Sad Film
A soft and elegant film that subtly captures the feelings involved in a marriage that is slowly dying before its partners’ eyes.What I found most remarkable about “The Earrings of Madame de…” was the fact that it made me actually care about the people in it. These are rich, privileged aristocrats who live in a rarefied, pampered world. They might as well live on a different planet as far as the majority of nearly everyone else is concerned. Who cares if their marriage isn’t a good one, or that they’re bored, or discontent? Let their money and servants console them.
But that isn’t how I felt watching the film. I think Max Ophuls even wants his audience to feel that way at first so that he can upend their expectations. After all, he doesn’t even give his heroine a name — she’s simply a stand in for hundreds of other women feeling the same things and contending with the same emotions. But by the end of this film, my heart went out to this individual woman, and I was nearly breathless with the anticipation of seeing how her story would end.
The film looks sumptuous, with lush black and white art direction and Oscar-nominated costumes.
