Hard to find, but available if you dig. See more 07/10/2011 Ophüls masterpiece before exiting Germany, set in the turn-of-the-century Vienna, in which love and "liebelei" are the main recipe. This brilliant introspective work assigns a great relevance on the emotions and inner thoughts of the characters. Scenes consist in close-ups, landscapes speaking that which characters can't put into words, and prolonged shots of the facial expressions of the characters while they are being told something, while we wait for some kind of response from them, like watching someone in the face without blinking. 99/100 See more 11/18/2010 Ein frà 1/4hes Meisterwerk vom groÃen Max Ophà 1/4ls. Wie er anfangs ganz leichtfà 1/4Ãig inszeniert, dabei trotzdem Abgrà 1/4ndigkeiten à 1/4berall ahnen lässt, und wie er dann im letzten Drittel den Film so vollständig umkippen lässt in einen morbiden, Tränen treibenden Totentanz - das ist ohne Zweifel ganz, ganz groÃe Kunst. Ganz abgesehen davon, dass der finale Aufschrei des jungen Oberleutnants wider die martialischen Rituale der militarisierten preuÃischen Gesellschaft im Jahr 1932 wohl kaum anders als sehr gegenwärtig verstanden werden konnte.
