Jahrhundert, versetzt Clouzot in seine Frühwerk die "Amour fou"-Geschichte einer luxussüchtigen Frau und ihres Liebhabers in die Nachkriegszeit Frankreichs.Zwar sind "Amour fou"-Geschichten nicht ganz mein Ding, dennoch ist "Manon" brilliant inszeniert, spannend erzählt, wenngleich am Ende auch etwas unglaubwürdig und arg melodramatisch.Die Musik schrieb Paul Misraki, eine Nebenrolle spielt Serge Reggiani.I guess this is what unconditional love looks like?
White Heat Because of the last 10 minutes of pure chutzpah that boggles the imagination and works so crazily well that I hardly believed it was the same movie.
It required a great deal of updating and tinkering with the basic story before Clouzot could feel comfortable with it. It is an extremely loose adaptation of the 1731 novel Manon Lescaut by Abbé Prévos,, which transports the story to WW2 France. Was this review helpful? Manon (French pronunciation: ) is a 1949 French drama film directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot and starring Serge Reggiani, Michel Auclair and Cécile Aubry.It is a loose adaptation of the 1731 novel Manon Lescaut by Abbé Prévost. Amen!
The addition of Nazis for plot flavor is nothing more than silly. 9. 1. Loosely based upon an 18th century tale this has been changed around to fit a 2nd World War situation and must have something to do with the virtual ban he had after the accusations following the release of his brilliant Le Corbeau. And the third act quite literally plods along through the desert interminably in some sort of torture porn exercise. The doomed couple make no sense, Manon herself is underdeveloped and less than compelling. Even the structure with the constant flashbacks is unhelpful but the central tale of the young girl out for money and fun and men, leaves the central male and intended saviour looking more like a misguided young fool. The ending is shocking, moving and distressing.really dug clouzot's efforts to represent the claustrophobia and uncertainty of the novel's prose in this much more conventionally told narrative, from the intermittent power outages in the hotel to the juxtaposition of manon and desgrieux with the itinerant jews. On the Town19. Skip to main content Hello, Sign in. 5. 2 out of 2 found this helpful. 'There is nothing dirty when we love each other..' (Cécile Aubry as Manon Lescaut)Brief Synopsis: A member of the French Resistance (Michel Auclair) quickly falls in lust with a manipulative suspected Nazi collaborator (Aubry) as they scramble to make a living in post-war Paris.Verdict: Even in his earliest films - Le Corbeau being the prime example - Henri-Georges Clouzot was fascinated by the dishonest behaviour of human beings and the corruption of their morals, and this preoccupation is shown clearly in the second film he made after the end of World War II; a quite exceptional modernisation of an 18th Century novel by Abbé Prévost. 10 out of 11 found this helpful. So why 3 stars and not 1? His forte was telling a gritty story with characters stretched to the breaking point (as Montand and Vanel were in Wages of Fear).
