An exclusive clip from the new restoration of Madame de... ( out on BFI Blu-ray & DVD 22 May) starring the dazzling - and deceptive - Danielle Darrieux who celebrates her 100th birthday this year (1 May 2017 ) shop.bfi.org.uk/madame-de.html
★★★★★ 'Erotic, gripping, elegant and mysterious' Guardian
'The greatest film of all time' Andrew Sarris
When, beset by debt, the titular Countess Louise (Danielle Darrieux) decides to sell a pair of earrings that were a wedding gift from her husband André (Charles Boyer), she unwittingly sets in motion a chain of events that will have serious consequences not only for the Parisian couple but for André’s mistress and for an Italian Baron (Vittorio De Sica) who purchases the, by then, much-travelled jewellery.
Featuring nuanced performances by all three lead actors and directed by celebrated auteur Max Ophuls, this intricately constructed and elegantly designed drama is a searing study of fateful passion wound up in deceits, deals and desires.

What a great movie. Danielle Darrieux is fantastic.

I'm so glad there was a good-looking excerpt of Madame de... right here, on the tip of my fingers, after hearing Paul Thomas Anderson mention it.

May her soul rest in heavenly bliss.

A sublime film and a treasure trove of filmmaking inspiration.. Mise en scene, composition, framing and of course, camera movement.

at which point is the song L'Amour m'Emporte sung in this movie ?

Le général aime sa femme. Max Ophuls nous le montre avec beaucoup de subtilité

He loves that he owns her, in my opinion.
