Any Max Ophuls fans around here?
I'm looking for some films to buy for the Barnes and Noble Criterion sale and reading the synopsis for some of his films, they sound like a hybrid of Ernst Lubitsch and Preston Sturges. Can anyone recommend me some of his films to check out. Or maybe draw some sort of comparison to other filmmakers with similar films?
Thanks. |

Re: Any Max Ophuls fans around here?
I have to admit, my copy of Lola Montes has been sitting on the shelf unwatched for at least a year. I've started it on a couple of occasions, but never gotten through more than 20-30 minutes without falling asleep. I blind bought it because I was on a big Technicolor kick at the time and kind of regret it. That said, I may make it though the whole thing one day and find I love it. I can't wait to check out The Earrings of Madame de... when that comes out on blu-ray in a few weeks. That's one I'm pretty sure I will like based on everything I have heard about it.
