4.0 out of 5 stars Somehow strange, but extremely original..., 8 Sep 2006
By Bel Alcat "bel_78" (Buenos Aires, Argentina) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
"Marquise of O" is a film directed by Eric Rohmer (Jean Marie Maurice Schérer), and based on a story written by Heinrich von Kleist a long time ago. That story was somehow strange, but extremely original. The same can be said about this movie.

The main character is the beautiful marquise of O (Edith Clever), a young French woman that lives with her parents and her two daughters, leading a virtous life after the death of her husband. During the late nineteenth century Franco-Prussian war, the marquise is saved from rape by a handsome Russian count (Bruno Ganz). Overwrought by the incident, the marquise is given a potion to sleep. The following day she wants to thank the count, but is informed that he has left with the Russian troops.

The marquise of O goes on with her life, until two extremely unusual things happen. First, the count returns to her life, wanting to marry her immediately. Secondly, the marquise discovers that she is pregnant, and is immediately banished from her parents' house. But how did that happen, if the marquise swears that she has remained chaste after the death of her husband?

All in all, I can say that this movie is interesting, capable of entertaining but also of making you reflect on temptation, standards of propriety, and what is right and wrong. Moreover, the cinematography is so good that the spectator starts to believe that he is indeed watching something that happened a long time ago. Even though this is far from being my favourite Rohmer film, it is more than good enough to recommend, and that is the reason why I give it 3.5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars arguing the synopsis, 2 Jan 2008
By P. Diana (Pisa, Italy) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The story should take place in northern Italy at the end of 18th century/early 19th during napoleonic campaign/wars. Names and places are not clearly mentioned as Von Kleist( the author of the original novel)pretends it comes from a true fact and suggests northern Europe as the original place. Clothes in the film are unmistakably Regency/Empire.

A delightful movie from Rohmer. Very good acting.IT's hard to find this film and rarely broadcasted on tv .I'm happy to have the chance to watch it again and refresh my mind.
