	DVD Talk Review: La Ronde
		In 1964 La Ronde might have been highly arousing to men still breaking away from the sexually repressive fifties, but today the picture seems very mild, and could almost be shown on local television without cuts.
		This was Jane Fonda's seventh film, and the first of a half-dozen she made in Europe concurrent with her rising stardom in America.
		Fonda is in La Ronde for a bit less than the middle-third of the picture, but it's clear that she holds most of Vadim's interest, and she's fine given the limitations of the part.

	slant // magazine.com: Film Review - La Ronde
		La Ronde grafts the sexual exploits of a close-knit gaggle of bourgeois dopes into a lifeless vision of art-nouveau Paris.
		It's a personal film in the sense that Vadim's presence is felt within every frame, but this charisma doesn't register visually or theoretically but lecherously, usually through the single-minded sexual ambitions of the story's attractive men.
		A scene early in the film, in which Vadim's camera pans across a garden as statues happily respond to a couple's fornication, also begs a comparison to another, infinitely wiser Buñuel film: L'Age d'Or, in which a woman flips her finger at tradition by kneeling at the feet of a statue and sucking its toe.

	IONCINEMA.com presents: La Ronde (1950) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		An exercise in style, La Ronde was one of the few films of the 1950s to contain overtly sexual themes.
		The film demands that the audience pay attention to the structure, to the interplay among the characters, and to the opulent visual elements; and the effect is synergistic delight, in which the viewer is engaged both visually and intellectually.
		Because it was filmed in fl-and-white, La Ronde does not have the garish look of some of Ophuls' other films, notably Lola Montès.

		Simone Simon was born Simone Thérèse Fernande Simon on April 23, 1910, in Marseille, France, and began her film career in 1931.
		After seeing her in the 1934 film Lac Aux Dames (USA title: "Ladies' Lake"), Darryl F. Zanuck brought her to Hollywood in 1936 with a widespread publicity campaign, but her films for 20th Century Fox were only moderately successful, and Simon returned, dissatisfied, to France.
		She died in Paris, France on February 22, 2005, at age 94 (although BBC news reports mistakenly reported her age as 93) of natural causes.

		Max Ophuls' 1950 fl and white film plays with the 'rules' of film making - in its mix of realism and fantasy - in a very unusual way.
		La ronde is about the merry-go-round of love and sex.
		Based on a Schnitzler play, it is set in 19th-century Vienna and is in itself a 'rondo': a series of sketches, each six or seven minutes long.

	La ronde / Roundabout / 1950 / film review / Max Ophuls
		The brevity of the individual segments of the film does not impair the quality of the characterisation or acting performance, and there are some very impressive moments, particularly the scenes with Jean-Louis Barrault (best know for his role in Les Enfants du Paradis) and Simone Signoret (Les Diaboliques and Casque d’Or).
		The film is surprisingly — for a film of its age — pretty explicit about the sexual proclivities of the aristocracy and military men.
		Another strong point is Oscar Straus’s musical score, particularly the raconteur’s merry-go-round ballad which accompanies the film throughout, not unlike the cheery music of a real merry-go-round in a fairground.

	Film Review: La Ronde
		Boasting a level of coincidence you'd expect of Thomas Hardy or Robert Altman, La Ronde just about gets away with the plot device especially as the film does not try to develop characters, more just observe them as they leap from bed to bed.
		There are also some nice little tricks such as the narrator's on-screen splicing together of the film and the long and elaborate opening and closing shots.
		As a curiously modern but not particularly emotionally charged curio, the film is worth seeing for novelty alone.

		This is to be expected - Ophuls has collected the cream of post-war French cinema.

	Amazon.com: La Ronde (1954) : Video (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The camera glides, swirls, and delicately dances around fleeting moments between lovers, from chance meetings and secret trysts, to the sincere but hopeless courtship by a besotted admirer, to the relaxed banter of cuckolding married couples.
		Set in half-lit, turn-of-the-century Viennese interiors, La Ronde is an elaborate satire on sexual behavior, a panoramic display of illicit love in old Vienna that comments on the futility of transitory relationships in which the deceivers are always deceived.
		"La Ronde" is replete with camera angles reminiscent of "Citizen Kane." There is a fantastic overhead shot of a young courtesan whose head is in the center of hanging light fixture-or chandelier.

	Ronde, La (1950) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Ophüls lays quite a lot of weight into the appearances of the mysterious `showmaster', which makes the film rather dark and a little bit spooky, although it is in fact about perfectly ordinary people and their instincts.
		The actors are French and speak French (although the setting remains Vienna).
		The language makes the film a little more pathetic than it should be: `l'amour' has completely different qualities than `Liebe' or `love'.

	La Ronde (1950)
		His first film, LA RONDE, is taken from Arthur Schnitzler's play REIGEN, which features a series of interlocking love stories set in Vienna at the turn of the 19th Century.
		A student seduces a chambermaid, then, filled with confidence, has an affair with a married woman who goes home to her husband, who then goes off to his mistress--and so on until the circle comes back to the beginning.
		The situations and dialogue were considered quite risqué at the time and the film was actually banned in America.

		La Ronde Film Review - Time Out Film
		Not one of the director's very greatest films on desire (see Letter from an Unknown Woman and Lola Montès for those), Ophüls' circular chain of love and seduction in 19th century Vienna is still irresistible.
		And there are more than enough moments of cinematic magic to excuse the occasional longueurs of talkiness.

		Based upon the play by Arthur Schnitzler and set in 19th century Vienna, this film depicts a series of sexual encounters that forms the dance of love.
		Light, sophisticated and charming, the film is one of Ophüls' greatest.
		The dizzying camerawork brilliantly reflects the circular nature of the tale, as do recurring shots of wheels and merry-go-rounds.

		For all its "run-and-gun" energy, Sidewalks of New York eventually reveals itself to be a carefully interwoven "circle of love," much like Max Ophuls' graceful classic La Ronde (1950).
		Another film of the early 1950s was also a strong influence for Burns: the Italian neo-realist anthology picture Amore in Citta (1953), in which a young Federico Fellini and Michelangelo Antonioni (along with four other directors) explored episodes of romance in Rome.
		Being an independent filmmaker who works with lower budgets, I thought, 'why not use those tactics to make my film more quickly and cost efficient, while also creating a sense of immediacy and intimacy in the storytelling?" says Burns.

	channel4.com/film - La Ronde
		Vadim's film, a remake of Max Ophuls' 1950 classic, is a complex sexual merry-go-round in which a quartet of folks seduce, have affairs with and romance each other in a varying array of combinations.
		Notablefor an early appearance by Fonda, the film has the same intriguing premise that made Ophuls' original so much fun, but Vadim lacks his lightness of tone and produces a movie which is somewhat leaden; it's hard to care about any of these people, much less who they sleep with.
		Not without its moments, but feels like a remake made for the sake of it.

		Unwanted remake of Max Ophuls' classic 1950 film LA RONDE starring Fonda as one of the cogs in a wheel of romantic affairs that runs full circle by the end of the movie.
		CIRCLE OF LOVE will probably best be remembered for Fonda's threat to sue if a giant Broadway billboard for the film depicting her in the buff was not removed.
		Fonda married the director, Vadim, which did nothing for her career.
