Dovetailed dance, elegance, opulence, charm, sophistication, this has it all. It was a gateway into 1950s French cinema for me when I bought the video as a teenager, the first French film I remember falling in love with from this decade, and directed by one of the great German filmmakers who'd settled in France. To date, I don't believe there's a single decade in which French cinema hasn't successfully extended its reach, partly due to arts education and training, the cultural mix, a desire for experimentation and how the national industry is run. I quite enjoy Roger Vadim's version from the 1960s but it's as much a playful tribute to Ophuls' work as anything else. I've actually seen many versions of 'La Ronde' made in different countries, some straight-up adaptations, others thinly veiled reinterpretations.
"Everyone in the world has two fatherlands: his own and Paris."
- Max Ophuls
