From the Paper:
"Max Ophuls was a filmmaker who achieved renown in his native Germany, adapted to the different film industry in America and produced a number of important works, and returned to Europe in the 1950s to direct some of his finest works in France. From the latter era, Ophuls directed Le Plaisir in 1952 from stories by Guy de Maupassant. The film differs from other Ophuls works in that it is essentially a trilogy with a narrator in the form of the author, Maupassant, who connects the three stories and whose presence in the film emphasizes the element of narration and storytelling. At the same time, Ophuls makes these stories his own, finding in them reflections of themes evident in his other works, themes such as the chasm between desire and fulfillment, the ongoing search for value, the tyranny of time, and the sheer value of storytelling itself."More papers on Max Ophuls:
