Roving with his dazzlingly mobile camera around the decadent ballrooms, bucolic countryside retreats, and painter's studios of late nineteenth-century French life, Max Ophuls brings his astonishing visual dexterity and storytelling bravura—along with a stunning cast of French stars—to this triptych of tales by Guy de Maupassant about the limits of spiritual and physical pleasure.
