Opisy(1)

The Alexandre Dumas classic Lady of the Camelias was given its first screen treatment in this Pathe one-reeler. With only 15 minutes screen time at their disposal, the producers were forced to telescope the events of the source material. As a result, the courtesan heroine Marguerite seems to expire from consumption only a few moments after falling in love with the handsome Armand. The reviewer for the trade magazine Variety indicated that the cast of the film was comprised of top artistes from the Parisian theater, but unfortunately he did not identify these worthies.

angielski An ambitious film adaptation of the famous literary source from the workshop of Alexandre Dumas Jr. It would be naive to ask how many people actually read the novel, but this work is kept in the general consciousness and most people can tell you what the story is about. But even though Bolognini gathered an exclusive cast led by the femme fatale of French cinema, Isabelle Huppert, the result is academically distant, cold, and without pace. Although the director presents beautiful images and underlines them with precisely composed and filmed music, the result is far too often noble and highly cultivated boredom. Real emotions and real emotional commitment simply do not happen here. This time I will only give it 3 stars and a 60% overall impression. ()
