description

http://schema.org/description

  • "La Coquille et le clergyman: A clergyman, committed by his calling to celibacy but in love with a romantic beauty, is afflicted by sexual torments he is unable to resolve. The surrealist film is composed of a series of episodes using Freudian imagery to express the clergyman's mental anguish."
  • "La coquille et le clergyman: Un clergyman amoureux d'une beauté romantique triomphe de son rival, mais ne parvient pas à dominer ses complexes. -- La souriante Madame Beudet: Dans le calme feutré de la province, l'épouse d'un marchand de draps rêve d'idylles romantiques et de passions fatales, où elle aurait le beau rôle. Son mari est un butor, qui lui joue la comédie du suicide. Un jour, le coup part... et brise un bibelot sur la commode. La routine bourgeoise reprend son cours."
  • "La Souriante Madame Beudet: Film is a study in domestic conflicts that portrays the life and dreams of a housewife in a small town who is married to a repulsive businessman."
  • "Souriante Madame Beudet (26 min.): A study in domestic conflicts, this portrays the life and dreams of a housewife in a small town who is married to a repulsive businessman. Coquille et le clergyman (31 min.): A clergyman, committed by his calling to celibacy but in love with a romantic beauty, is afflicted by sexual torments he is unable to resolve. Experimental techniques are used to study his state of mind."
  • "The story, based on a stage play by Andre Obey and Denys Amiel, is a psychological drama akin to Madame Bovary. A woman who loves music and poetry is suffocating in the stultifying atmosphere of a provincial town and a marriage to a vulgar merchant husband. Instead of opening out the play by use of locations, Dulac turned to a sustained exploration of Madame Beudet's inner life through an array of stylistic devices to convey Madame Beudet's imaginative world, an objectification of subjective feelings through the power of association."
