The Marquise of O (Rohmer, 1976): Prince Charles Cinema, 1.15pm
This is part of a great Eric Rohmer season at the Prince Charles Cinema. Details here.Chicago Reader review:
Eric Rohmer’s detailed, infinitely subtle 1976 retelling of a Heinrich
von Kleist story about an Italian aristocrat who discovers,
unaccountably, that she’s pregnant. Rohmer deals with grand
passions—love and hate, dignity and humility, forgiveness and
contrition—but in an understated way that makes the emotion seem that
much more true. The film’s slow, stately pace and the quiet way in which
it makes its points give it the aura of a neoclassical dream, a fading
vision of the virtue of gentility. With Edith Clever and Bruno Ganz.
