    #SIFF# Polanski is very suitable for Hardy's gloomy style, it is so beautiful, that white and hopeless sunshine. What's a little strange about the adaptation is that many of the places that seem to be the focus of the original work, such as the death of the child and the killing of Deberville, are not positively described, the psychological activity is zero, and the sense of sadness and fate has plummeted. Especially the change in murder is abrupt. Kinski was so beautiful back then, he looked...

    The photography is beautiful, Kinski is beautiful, and Polanski is equally stable in traditional emotional films. The two men caused great damage to Tess both physically and mentally. Alec, who took advantage of her, took away her innocence but lost to her stubbornness, but Angel named Angel hurt Tess the most. Most afraid of being picked up in desperation and then being slammed down. Angel's love at all costs came too late and too cramped, and everything was...

    Nine times out of ten, movies adapted from first-class literary works fail. The essence of the original novel is lost. The characters are too simple. The light and shadow are really...

    The movie is good (in the typical sense), but where is Polanski? I can see Dreyer burning silently in his films, but Polanski...I can't find him anywhere. At the heart of literature, does he escape when he needs to question...

    Polanski is another film adapted from a literary masterpiece, which is a relatively successful adaptation. Polanski shows rural life in the British industrialization period with his calm scheduling and atmospheric video skills, filled with his helplessness towards fate. In addition, Natasha Kinski, who plays Tess in the film, is one of the reasons why the film is favored by fans and won many...

    It's amazing to make such a beautiful movie in the 1970s. As far as the story is concerned, it is indeed tragic, but who can blame it, the cruelty of the society, the poverty of the parents, the occupation of Alec, the hypocrisy and cowardice of Angel, or the naivety and stubbornness of myself. In fact, although Alec is despicable, it is not shameful, at least he is really good to Tess and demands to be responsible for her. She, who was not raped, also volunteered to be his...

    Like a dense fog that has drifted away many times, everything is nothingness. Polanski's first feature film after his return to Europe, adapted from Thomas Hardy's novel "Tess of the D'Urbervilles", except for the tragic color that Old Bo has always had, this is actually very unlike Polanski. Kinski, who is under 20 years old, is so beautiful. The scene of being fed strawberries reminds me of the 62nd version of "Lolita". The encounters of the little people in the big era are almost destined to...

    Destruction of beauty is better than beauty

    1
    Polanski is worthy of being a master director, who made the tragedy so bright and beautiful.
    Destruction of beauty is better than beauty.
    One tragedy is better than ten comedies.

    sacrifice on the altar

    I really can't believe that my first movie review is this one, it's crazy. But that kind of movie is hard to copy too, isn't it?

    Polanski is a constant reminder of the changing times in our films, farming and machinery, decaying families and emerging capitalists, religion and universities.

Tess quotes

  • Parson Tringham: I made a discovery about you, while tracing some family trees for our new county history. I'm an antiquarian, you know. You, Durbeyfield, are directly descended from the knightly house of the d'Urbervilles. Did you really not know that?

  • John Durbeyfield: Sir John d'Urbervilles. That's who I am.
