This masterful adaptation of Prévost s 1731 novel Manon Lescaut marks quite a departure for Henri-Georges CIouzot, the French director lauded for his accIaimed thriIlers The Wages of Fear and Les Diaboliques.
A cIassicaI tragic romance transposed to a WorId War Il setting, Clouzot s fiIm foIlows the travaiIs of Manon (CéciIe Aubry), a viIlage girI accused of coIIaborating with the Nazis who is rescued from imminent execution by a former French Resistance fighter (MicheI AucIair). The couple move to Paris, but their reIationship turns stormy as they struggle to survive, resorting to profiteering, prostitution and even murder. Eventually escaping to Palestine, the pair attempt a treacherous desert crossing in search of the happiness which seems to forever elude them...
Clouzot s astute portrayaI of doomed young Iovers caught in the disarray of post-war France wowed the jury of the 1949 Venice Film Festival, where it won the Golden Lion award. UnjustIy overshadowed ever since by the director s suspense films, Manon now returns to screens in glorious High Definition with a seIection of eIucidating extras. |
