France | 1974 | col | 109 mins | dir. Andrzej Zulawski, with
Romy Schneider, Fabio Testi, Jacques Dutronc, Klaus Kinski | cert. 15
In
a César-winning role that shows Schneider at her most vulnerable and
fragile, but also at her most angry and cynical, she plays a
world-weary actress amidst a crowd of desperate artists, freaks, and
gangsters. Bound to her escapist husband, she resists the love of a
melancholy photographer who secretly pays a large sum of money to get
her into a proper, yet ill-fated stage play. Zulawski’s first film
outside Poland is a fierce, cacophonous, but also tender melodrama,
which also stars Klaus Kinski in one of his best performances.
