La Ronde (1964) Reviews

Member Rating:

This uneven remake of the 1950 Max Ophuls feature from the play by Arthur Schnitzler takes place in Paris just before World War I instead of Vienna at the turn of the 20th century. A soldier (Claude Giraud) sleeps with a prostitute (Marie Dubois) before he seduces Rose (Anna Karina), and a willing but married Sophie (Jane Fonda). A night of drinking finds the soldier back with the prostitute again in this feature directed by Roger Vadim. ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide

Enjoyed the special features the best, an interview with Roger Vadim and Jane Fonda. They speak to the camera in an off-the-cuff manner about the movie, about their relationship, about Jane's acting, and Roger's taste in women. Jane almost seemed somewhat genuine. Roger spoke of how Jane was an interesting actress before he met her, and that she was really blossoming after he met her. But I was disappointed by her role in the film, she was on camera for only 20 minutes or so. And only in bedroom scenes too well wrapped up in the sheets. I would have enjoyed seeing more of her slender figure in the marvelous dresses of the era. Highlight of the movie, one moment in bed when Jane nearly had a nip slip.
