ShangLuda Admirable film.
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Mag-N-olia The film has never been the most commercial successful for Romy or Alain, but it is beautiful enough (not only the two actors). And memorable chemistry between the screen couple is awesome. Another version of Romeo & Juliet? I don't think so, the story is more negative and depress, since the young lieutenant (Alain Delon) wants to quit the affair with the married baroness. In the end, his death shows people have to pay for your past. The true love, which may be once in your lifetime, also is paid. And, even your life.As Christine Weiring Romy's performance is sensitive, especially when she knows Franz Lobheiner's death, sorrow in her eyes is remarkable. By contrast, Alain's character limited by script, but intelligent he is, he fulfill each scene with his personality.
Armand romantic, nice, result of pieces of Sissy shadow and product of Schneider - Delon chemistry. it is not impressive but it remains as good memory from lost age. romanticism is basic ingredient. the sad story - precious spice. music, love, good looking actors and a town as fairy-tale book. a mixture of Bovary's dreams and a form of history. so, it is difficult to write much about it and only verdict is fruit of passing time. its roots - fascinating - out of film. it is a little spring wind. this is fundamental virtue. a film like old velvet dress. or silk handkerchief. like a room in evening of fall. or, only, like a daisy in a childhood herbarium. for special hours, after a work day, it is necessary option. for escape from yourself. and dream
dbdumonteil "Liebelei" was one of Max Ophuls's triumphs in the thirties .One should notice it was Romy's mother (Magda Schneider) who was the lead.The first thing to bear in mind is that "Liebelei" was BARELY a romantic story.A harsh tale,more like,where princes do not generally marry shepherdesses.For the young hero ,Christine is only a liebelei (passing fancy;amourette). A quarter of century later,the screenplay had been watered-down and cheapened.Romy Schneider taking on her mother's part was perhaps not a very good idea in the first place.Delon and Schneider met during the shoot and they became THE lovers of the late fifties/early sixties. As for "Christine" it's a tragedy ("liebelei" ) turning soap opera ,even if the ending was kept .Supporting cast includes Micheline Presles,Jean-Claude Brialy and Fernand Ledoux.Schneider's voice was dubbed in the original version ,for her French was not good enough at the time.With terrible results ,because the voice that dubs her (like in "Sissi" ) borders on silliness.After "Christine" and a very small cameo of Romy in "Plein soleil" (the talented M.Ripley ,first version) ,Delon and Schneider would reunite twice :in "la piscine" (1968) and in "the assassination of Trotsky" (1971);they had planned to team up in a third one ,directed by Granier-Deferre circa 1981,but Romy died in 1982.
lionel.willoquet At the beginning of the 20-th century, the tragic history of love among an Austrian officer and a girl of modest condition. The beauty of decorations and suits and the charm of the couple Romy Schneider-Alain Delon is the main attractions of this romantic drama.
