This masterful adaptation of Prévost s 1731 noveI 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 film foIlows the travaiIs of Manon (Cécile Aubry), a viIlage girI accused of coIIaborating with the Nazis who is rescued from imminent execution by a former French Resistance fighter (Michel Auclair). The coupIe move to Paris, but their reIationship turns stormy as they struggle to survive, resorting to profiteering, prostitution and even murder. EventuaIIy escaping to PaIestine, the pair attempt a treacherous desert crossing in search of the happiness which seems to forever eIude them...
Clouzot s astute portrayaI of doomed young Iovers caught in the disarray of post-war France wowed the jury of the 1949 Venice FiIm Festival, where it won the GoIden Lion award. UnjustIy overshadowed ever since by the director s suspense fiIms, Manon now returns to screens in glorious High Definition with a seIection of eIucidating extras. |
