    4.5 When a man fails to seek pleasure, when a man seeks pleasure, the three stories are light and heavy, but the connection is as smooth and elegant as the scene language shown in the movie "but a happy friend does not mean happiness" It is...

    Women are beautiful because of everything they can bring: holiness, innocence, romance, happiness, youth... The carriage full of flowers is the best proof that every man should kneel under a pomegranate...

    The second afternoon of the retrospective exhibition of the works of #MaxOrphels, after I slept and watched this, it was like a chicken blood. I deliberately reviewed a few highlights of this film before entering the theater, and then I missed the schedule of the first "Mask" without entering the state! Until the second "Madame Taylor's House", I began to pay attention to the operation of the master's camera. The window rises to show two doors on one side, and the other corner protrudes from...

    This is the first time I saw Orpheus, and I really like his composition. Not to mention the sports lens, it is dizzying. Especially the second paragraph, the closed environment of the apartment peeking out of the window vs the open pastoral panorama. The 360-degree rotating camera in the church really fits the narration...

    9. Orpheus shoots a consistent cow. Although the overall story feels a little too close, it still can't stop the awesome mirror...

    #ShanghaiOrpheusMaster Film Festival# I can actually see the feeling of Buñuel, not the bourgeoisie but also has "prudential charm" haha, the desire of men has nowhere to put, it is a good...

    After all, it is an adaptation of Maupassant's short film. Even the tragedy is good fortune, making people laugh and laugh. Each paragraph has its own sigh, but it is not sad. The second brothel story is a light and worldly humorous existence. Everyone is happy, the whole village welcomes the women to come back and bring them joy again. The third paragraph of "Model" is also a magical infatuation. One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. I think of Gao Xiuzi, which I watched...

    Happiness is not necessarily joy. The three paragraphs of "Mask", "Mrs. Taliyah's House" and "Model", the voice-over commented on the 77th point from the author's point of view: love and joy, simplicity and joy, death and Joy...most of the short stories are allegorical, and the film adaptations also present situations that outsiders seem embarrassed but inexplicably enjoy, but this one is most breathtaking in the technical aspects: the first dance hall and the small apartment, The contrast...

    A finely crafted smoothness

    Le Plaisir, 1952, Max Ophüls (Joyful) Three stories based on three of Maupassant's novels: "Mask", an old man puts on the mask of a youth to go to a ball in order to regain his lost youth; "Dai Li" "Ye Chun Lou", a brothel owner leads a group of girls back to the countryside to attend her niece's...

    three love stories

    The three separate Maupassant stories, connected by the narration of the storytelling, also show some connection. The narration is humorous and poetic.

    "Mask": love and happiness. The sad man dances and revels all night under the mask for indulging in the vain past of his youth, and the sad woman...

Le Plaisir quotes

  • Jean's friend: I was there the first time they met. Jean Summer hadn't yet settled on landscapes or still lifes, but he hated nudes. He didn't know that the pretty girl was in fact a model. He was captivated by how she walked, her childlike and sensual face, her slightly gaudy elegance, and her divine waist. Her name was Joséphine.

  • Joséphine - le modèle (segment "Le Modèle"): Such is life, my love. Old age and salmon, youth and sardines.
