Re: Zweig and his Amok

I did already check! After your post!
Now to " Lettre a une inconnue "...
It is a melodram, Sirk did continue in this way later.
Max Ophuls transformed the novel, that is what I had remember after the very few first shots.
Schnitzler, Maupassant and now Zweig it is the same sadness, the same humanism, Joan Fontaine ( née de Havilland ) has the same romantic ambiguité as in Hitch ´s Suspicion and Rebecca and en particulier the last.
It is the story of lost and missed, on the verge of being masochistic.
Louis Jourdan a dark and a beau as always wooden but not without charm.
A film that lives you empty.
Only if you want to be feel all the wrongs of the world, and looking back at a time where society impose itself as a rule of life..that may have change, but we...not.
