Negative Positive
Title: ?
Review: The Earrings of Madame de... is virtually a miracle of cinematic balance. The film gracefully moves along its comedic gestures towards a critique of aristocratic life. But like the best of Renoir-Ophuls refuses to reduce his work to a dry analysis of classes. Madame escalates into a divinely written tragedy with moments of transcendentally inspired dialogue. This is an indispensable gem of the cinema, though it will undoubtedly remain overly saturated with sentiment for today's audiences.
