[Exhibition at the China Film Archive] 4K restored version on the big screen. More than 3 hours did not feel long, and I was deeply immersed in the story. Although the plot is a bit bloody, the performances, photography, music, scheduling, etc. are all excellent. Especially the drama and pantomime of the play within the play. Especially wonderful. Start with a loud crowd and end with a loud crowd. It is truly an astonishing masterpiece. Let alone a movie from 70 years ago. Five-star recommendation!

That's great. Great. The performance, the lines, the play within the play, the three screenwriters are really wonderful. But what moved me the most was every time we met and said goodbye. I originally thought that Garance was so perfect as if it was just an ideal, but what does it matter to her in the end? Carnival and parting, people come and go, it seems that all of life. [If you watch it in the museum, you will cry like a dog. .

Baptiste: I still love you. I always have. And you, Garance? No, don't answer. I won't ask for anything. You're here. That's all that matters. Here, alive in my arms, like the first time. No, I ask for nothing. Only - the warmth of your body against my body, this mouth of yours. These eyes of yours.

Édouard, Count de Montray: How do you ply your talents these days?
Pierre-François Lacenaire: Since you ask, I'm putting the finishing touches on something that will cause a sensation.
Édouard, Count de Montray: A tragedy, no doubt.
Pierre-François Lacenaire: No, a comedy, a farce. Or a tragedy, if you prefer. It's all the same. There's no difference. Or very little. For example, if a king is deceived, it's a tragedy of infidelity. He's deceived not by his wife...
Frederick: But by Fate.
Pierre-François Lacenaire: Yes, Fate. But if it's a poor devil like you or me, Monsieur de Montray - and I use "me" as a figure of speech - it's no longer a tragedy, but mere buffoonery, a sorry tale of cuckolds.
