Un carnet de bal (1937)
(Christine)
Country: FR
Technical: bw 144m
Director: Julien Duvivier
Cast: Marie Bell, Françoise Rosay, Louis Jouvet, Harry Baur, Fernandel, Raimu
Synopsis:
A widow nostalgically tracks down the men she danced with at a ball aged 16. Perhaps she married the wrong man?
Review:
The epitome of French cinematic style before the war: sophisticated dialogue, theatrical performance and a carefully controlled mise-en-scène imbued with the national culture. The film deals with the unsuspected power of acquaintance to enduringly affect both parties, and the hold that the past has over our lives.
