"Peetooim Ha-Assurim Shel Velmont, Ha" uses love or sex as an important dimension of a relationship and is lighter in tone, but that's perhaps the problem with the film - this ease reduces the tragic nature of the protagonist's fate. In order to make audiences understand the tragedy of lost life and lost love, the tone of the film shifted from romantic realism to burlesque. Casting, acting, and narrative events all contribute to this change in tone. At first, Farmain's romantic approach to the Marchioness was hilarious; so was the duel that cost him his life. The pain of the realism of first discovering love undercuts the poignancy of the process that Farman found. This example is one of many tones that undercut the clarity of a complex narrative.
