A true classic - Madame De. review by PT
Regarded as one of best films ever made. A study of the upper classes and Madame De... in particular. This is cinema art at it's best. The cinematography is outstanding, long takes, sequence shots, Madame De passing behind objects as the camera still follows her, revealing the workings of her world in doing so. The ultra beautiful Danielle Darrieux gives one of cinemas most memorable performances in the title role, her magnetism is addictive. If you love art house cinema, this film is as the critics say, one of the best ever made. A MUST see for cinema buffs.

Very enjoyable - Madame De. review by MR
A charming film, very sensitively acted. After watching it, it is well worth viewing the two lots of 'extras' - interviews with many of the people involved in the making of the film, who are full of fascinating information, and which will definitely enhance your appreciation. How handsome is Vittorio de Sica, and how beautiful is the art and costume design.
