This is Max Ophuls so it looks superb (opulent is the word) and it is impressively witty despite dealing with grave issues (of the heart, both figurative and literal in this case). There are some genuinely hilarious moments. Oh, and lots of fancy people dancing, which is another Ophuls' trademark. The plot is similarly structured to that of 'La Ronde' but more complex in that it seems to deal with some of the issues to do with exchange systems that fascinated Malinowski about the Kula Ring.

Although this starts out seemingly as a comedy, with those earrings being passed back and forth, the movie eventually comes back to a love triangle (after a laborious but beautifully-filmed waltz sequence) among the aristocrats. Most reviewers marvel at the cinematography (I do too), but it's still a little difficult for me to sympathize with the adulterous characters and their predicament.

A masterclass in camerawork, ducking in and out of the ornate sets much like the earrings central to the story. The shot that sweeps through the ballroom following the two lovers' dances across three balls and the shot that tracks shreds of paper as they get tossed out of a railway car and eventually fade into a snowy landscape are just spectacular.

How a little white lie can snowball into a carousel of deception and unhappiness. It is supremely elegant, and there's nothing particularly wrong with it, but all the same I find it a little underwhelming next to its sterling reputation.

Every shot is perfect. Story is tight and lean. Characterization simple but nuanced. Both critical of the bourgeois materialism it portrays while still being enamored with its aesthetic qualities. Beauty is beauty is beauty, and you can say the same for love. I’m perhaps most smitten with the protagonist’s redemptive arc, and bewildered by how much I loved her from the very start. Looking forward to watching more Ophuls

Excellent analysis of a character transformation. The scenes created in a way that you see the big transformation of Madame de... Also scenes were very beautiful, especially dance scenes. Camera were working more than decent.

Ophuls was a film maker of such tremendous skill that his prodigious storytelling gifts are frequently overlooked. His much lauded tracking shots demonstrate his complete mastery of movement, but they aren't simply virtuosic displays of pure technique. The ballroom sequences, for example, are masterclasses in how to develop narrative, theme and character in both subtle and obvious ways. In Madame De, opulence leads to imprisonment, and Darrieux is unforgettable as Louise. Beautiful and tragic.

The premise of a general living in obscene wealth, bickling with others over various conventions and meanings tied to earrings, must have made Bunnuel smile, particularly in the beginning, but also Kubrick, who too would later go on to make a similarly inspired Barry Lyndon.

This didn't grab me as much as Lola Montes did (probably because it lacks that film's dazzling technicolor spectacle) but it's still charming and elegant and beautifully shot of course (Ophuls' characters say "ravishing" a lot and they could easily be alluding to their surroundings). In both films the characters and their drama can almost get lost within all the opulent set design, but in Lola Montes this at least felt thematically appropriate (playing into history as theatrical performance).

The movie tries to give us a sense of the disappearance of the gentry in France. Louise tries to act like the old contesses who could flirt with any man as long as they were gentleman, but her husband is a lord who shows inclinations of transformation to bourgeoisie (he searchs the earrings like mad), and hence he cares for his wife like a bourgeois tradesman cares, i.e. like a product. At the end, earring as a symbol of aristocracy becomes obsolete and is donated to church because it's useless.

Aristocrats having balls, the camera going round and round, swooning, intrigues, gentlemanly pistol duels. To me this is as stuffy as your grandma's perfume.
