James T @nyccowboy Apr 28, 2026 Ophuls' adaptation of Arthur Schnitzler's "Reigen" is superb and accessible. Even if you are fluent in German, if you aren't Viennese, you won't get half the jokes and one-upmanship games in Schnitzler's original. (Schnitzler, like Anton Chekhov a doctor, also wrote the short novel "Traumnovelle," adapted by Stanley Kubrick as "Eyes Wide Shut.") See more Sep 30, 2020 Great. What poetry ! Bitter sweet feelngs. Memories, regrets... See more Jul 22, 2017 Max Ophuls has made a classic with La Ronde because of its unique script structure and always interesting takes on themes such as love, marriage and happiness. Humorously narrated by a man that understands that he is telling a story for a picture which is more than fascinating it is avant-garde. Every new character shows a new perspective and a charm that captures one, but drives away the next. Like the characters the camera sets the mood in each scene creating a fluid and glamorously shot film. See more Jul 21, 2017 Ophuls is able to recreate much of the romanticism and humor from his other films, but fails to create something distinctively different or better than those previous efforts. See more May 7, 2017 A fun, memorable film See more Mar 5, 2017 A beautiful film with a constantly roaming camera. The challenge for me was the story, I wasn't full drawn in but this is a film certainly worth watching for the visual alone. Max Ophuls is a master with the tracking shot and this film shows him at his full powers. Worth a watch for classic cinema lovers. See more Read all reviews
