    There's just enough dialogue to give the movie a classic flavor. But such a long and heavy love makes a woman haggard, and this man is not worthy of it. It is understandable to see that the comments turned out to be the old-fashioned atmosphere of Austria-Hungary, but the film did not show it, it can only be said to be limited by the times. Orpheus, whose lens is not aggressive, is always less interesting. Time to read the...

    #FirstOrphels# I didn't expect too much, but after watching it, I really felt that this movie perfectly explained what it means to "destroy the original". A mournful and tactful love letter is the confession of an infatuated woman who has no reservations about her love and is extremely frank. After being adapted into a movie, it has become a collection of scumbags and girls. What Zweig is best at is psychological description. He is one of the authors who best reflects his writing skills and is...

    Three and a half stars, it can be seen that it is a typical Orpheus, especially with a narrator that runs through from beginning to end, but compared to the few films that were shot in Europe later, the authorship in Hollywood is still limited to a certain...

    The love of lonely youth, the emotion of surviving for romance, the night of a lifetime, is stronger than Xu Jinglei in narrative...

    3.5. The first Orpheus. It is not only like a Western version of "Rouge Buckle" with a different ending, but also like a filling of another possibility (premarital encounter and one-way affection) of "Meet Hate Late". The out-of-focus transitions are beautiful and seem uncommon at the same time, and Joan Fontaine's long-span performances are silent. A soul torture from film history/literary and art history: Why have there been so many men since ancient...

    I'm really happy that the work of one of my favorite writers has been adapted into such a beautiful movie. Although the movie can't fully reach the delicacy of Zweig's words, the adaptations are all reasonable. The novelist has been changed to a pianist. The soundtrack is very nice. The duel of a male protagonist is more of a love and death relationship than the original. The late Victorian clothes are so...

    Somewhat abrupt. But at the end, the man looked back and saw the young girl looking at him blankly and smiling back. Still sad. Young girl,...

    A man doesn't know how to cherish the woman who loves him, the invisible remains of her, and the woman has paid the price of his life for him. This is enough to make him regret for a lifetime, and reminisce about it for a...

    Joan Fontaine's weak temperament makes people feel pity, Louis Jordan's extended mouth is mysterious and unpredictable, whether it is lamenting regret or illusory boredom, both of them gave great performances. Gorgeous motion shots and complex scheduling of characters, the entire film is rich in imagery, visually smooth, complex, and unparalleled. Whether in terms of technology or connotation, Orpheus is by no means inferior to Orson...

Letter from an Unknown Woman quotes

  • Lisa Berndl: Now I'm alone. My head throbs and my temples are burning. Perhaps God has been kind, and I too have caught the fever. If this letter reaches you, believe this - that I love you now as I've always loved you. My life can be measured by the moments I've had with you and our child. If only you could have shared those moments, if only you could have recognized what was always yours, could have found what was never lost. If only...

  • Lisa Berndl: Suddenly in that one moment, everything was in danger, everything I thought was safe. Somewhere out there were your eyes... and I knew I couldn't escape them. It was like the first time I saw you. The years between were melting away.
