四大名捕 豆瓣

Catherine is a servant girl working for the local mayor and victim of the sharp tongues of the mayor's wife and her friends. This is made clear in a first scene where she is asked to get the key of the mayor's desk at a cultural party the wife is attending. She is harassed by the whole elite who dislike the intrusion of the maid. In this scene it's made clear also that the wife has a secret lover who will later challenge the mayor's political career and will use Catherine as a scapegoat for his own ambitions. This role of "bad guy" is played by Renoir himself. The mayor who is fond of Catherine and is afraid that she'll be more victimized by his wife asks his sister to give Catherine a position in her own household. The sister has a son with tuberculosis (role played by Dieudonné). He's so weak he has no success with women of his class but of course Catherine will like instantly this fragile man. He dies after kissing Catherine while the rest of the town is celebrating carnival. The kissing scene at the window mixed with the fireworks is a brilliant moment of silent melodrama. Catherine is in mourning and because of that driven away by the mayor's wife and her friends. It is indecent that a servant girl is in mourning and shows public affection for someone who is not from her own social status. The emotions of Catherine are the element of disorder in the social ordered world of the rich. Catherine goes away and hides in a cheap hotel in the city where she is also bullied by a local pimp who sees in her an easy target to exploit. By accident Catherine is seen in the hotel window with the pimp, so more reason for gossip by the elite. When she returns to the village looking for a job she is rejected everywhere, even by the local Christian relief organization of which the mayor's wife became president. She meets the mayor again who is shocked by the attitude of the town, takes her in his home again and promotes her to his secretary. The wife is furious of course and leaves her husband to live with her mother. It is start of a slander campaign against the political credibility of the mayor. The lover of the mayor's wife sees what is happening as a golden opportunity and makes a public attack on the moral character of the mayor (what's new under the sun?) Catherine wants to avoid the downfall of her protector and leaves the mayor, explaining herself in a note. She hides in an old tram for the rain while the mayor is driving around in his car frantically looking for the girl. Two vagabonds are thrown out of a pub and out of frustration push the tram car, so it starts a crazy race up and down the hills towards the bridge and the valley abyss. Catherine is already accepting her death but is saved in time by the mayor who has made his choice for the girl. The social implications of his choice are not shown but are clear for all. Bargeman Louveau finds an abandoned boy, Victor, and with the authorities permission takes him back to his own family where he raises him. 10 years later Victor and Louveau's daughter Clara have fallen in love, and it is then that Louveau is called to Paris, where it has been discovered that Victor is really the son of Maugendré, a charcoal shipper on the Nivernaise canal. Meanwhile, Victor protects Clara when a jealous bargehand attacks her and he manages to save the family barge from crashing into the lock. Returned to his real father, Victor is sent away to be educated but misses Clara and his life on the barges. When Maugendré realizes this he lets him return and when they are married he gives Victor and Clara a barge of their own. The likeable and carefree Grand Duke of Abacco is in dire straits. There is no money left to service the State's debt; the main creditor is looking forward to expropriating the entire Duchy. The marriage with Olga, Grand Duchess of Russia, would solve everything, but a crucial letter of hers about the engagement has been stolen. Besides, a bunch of revolutionaries and a dubious businessman have other plans regarding the Grand Duke. With the intrusion of adventurer Philipp Collins into the Grand Duke's affairs, a series of frantic chases, plots and counter-plots begins... This charming film is practically unknown, but it is one of Klein-Rogge's best performances, as he plays a romantic lead with a dash of villainy. Klein-Rogge is the feared Master who lives in a bleak castle on top of a mountain, and the villagers in the valley below dread his ill-omened arrival at every wedding. The story concerns one couple who marries despite the master's baleful influence, only to have him crash their wedding party and bring about the death of the bride. The bride's sister, seeking revenge, tries to kill the Master but instead they fall in love, as she realizes that he is not really evil, but blighted by a loveless existence. Their love is ill-starred, however, as the Master kills an insolent guest at their wedding who takes liberties with his bride, and this is followed by a peasants' revolt, where the castle is stormed and the Master captured. In the end, the lovers escape, but their love is finally doomed. The year before this film, Klein-Rogge had his great triumph as the evil Dr. Mabuse in Fritz Lang's 'Dr. Mabuse, Der Spieler', and his most memorable roles have been as villains. This movie demonstrates what a really wide range he had as an actor - he starts off with his very characteristic glowering villain, but once the girl enters his life he demonstrates both joy and tenderness, as well as grief and pain when he thinks he has lost everything. I don't know if such an obscure film could be a candidate for restoration, but it would be a worthy project, as the sets, costumes and many of the performances are as classic examples of expressionism as one could hope to see. 中国(guó )明代(📣)古装历(😔)史影(yǐ(🧔)ng )片 诗人(rén )挖目记 前法总理(lǐ )克理满(mǎn )沙(🌏)编剧 留(🤾)法中(zhōng )国电影明(míng )星徐琥主演 前(qián )法总(🖨)理克(kè(👻) )理满沙(⚽)在欧战(zhàn )和议既成(chéng )之后，深痛人(📿)(rén )类残(🎿)杀之(zhī(🌆) )罪恶，联想所(suǒ )及，觉世(shì )界实现之(🛅)事实(shí(📂) )，皆足使(🤩)(shǐ )明眼人触目伤(shāng )心，退著(zhe )《诗人(ré(🆘)n )挖目记(🧔)》（The Veil of Happiness）一(✒)(yī )剧，以(yǐ ) 中国清代装饰出(chū )演于(🍣)法(fǎ )国(✏)国家大(🎷)剧场，颇受法(fǎ )人之欢迎。时中(zhōng )国和会(huì(🥕) )总代表(🐔)陆征祥氏(shì )在法， 喜其剧情寓意(yì )深奥，嘱(⛰)(zhǔ )林纾(⛰)译为华(🕓)文(wén )，题名《膜外风光》。书既发，留法学(🗽)生争往(🔬)(wǎng )观剧(🍳)，见(jiàn )演员垂辫之状(zhuàng )，有辱国(guó )体(😔)，退而大(🌌)哗(huá )，举(🕶)徐琥(hǔ )告克氏，谓剧(jù )情所述，系明(🤸)代(dài )事(💇)，不可故(⬇)误。克 氏乃(nǎi )请徐为顾问，命(mìng )剧场(🛤)以(yǐ )明(🚧)代古装(👍)出演，法人欢(huān )迎，更见热烈。巴黎汉(🙇)(hàn )蜜莱(😶)影片公(📒)司 （Hamalaya Film Co.）总导(dǎo )演欲摄演之为(wéi )影戏，聘(pì(😸)n )任徐琥(🍞)为副导(dǎo )演，并请(qǐng )主演剧中张怡(yí )一角(🥞)。 巴(bā )黎(🛒)总领事(Ⓜ)廖叙(xù )时之弟廖(liào )世勤，及留法(fǎ(🏯) )美术学(😧)生(shēng )华(🌏)女士赵庭良(liáng )李福昌等(děng )，闻讯(xù(👋)n )自告奋(🚪)勇，分任(🔯)(rèn )剧中诗(shī )春夫人、杜夫、李刚(🌫)、赵犯(😓)诸角，历(🧔)时(shí )十余月(yuè )，用费数十万，全剧始(😀)(shǐ )成。出(📝)演之日(👑)， 巴黎全(quán )市，如中狂热。今本院(yuàn )以巨价购(🎬)运来(lá(🙆)i )沪，定三(sān )月十三日开演(yǎn )。凡欲认(rèn )识克(🎌)理满沙(🐌)氏(shì )之(💳)政治眼(yǎn )光，及领略剧(jù )中之哲学(💹)(xué )意味(💮)者，不可(⏬)(kě )不看此明(míng )代古装历史片(piàn )。静(💷)安寺(sì(😠) )路夏令(🔖)(lìng )配克戏院 启 （《申报》一九二六年(🆕)三月(yuè(⛺) )十一日(📞)(rì )头版） 剧情
