An intoxicating waltz performed by Max Ophuls finally available in its new restoration

In Vienna, a narrator, the “ playmaster” , presents a series of stories revolving around romantic or “gallant” encounters. So goes the round, passing from the prostitute to the soldier, from the soldier to the maid, from the maid to the son of a good family, and so on until the circle is closed...

First French film by Max Ophuls after his return from the United States in 1950, free adaptation of a play by Arthur Schnitzler considered "pornographic" when it was published, La Ronde is a disenchanted reflection on the emptiness of the feeling of love in the face of pleasure. carnal. Splendidly staged with its 360° tracking shots, La Ronde was a huge success when it was released, thanks in particular to its plethora of great actors. An absolute masterpiece of French cinema to be admired exclusively in its new restoration!
