Dark in its commentary about human nature, 'Mademoiselle

Dark in its commentary about human nature, 'Mademoiselle' is both artistic and disturbing. Several say that it's the frustrated sexual desire for woodman Ettore Manni that leads to Jeanne Moreau's spate of secret violence against the town, but it's worth noting that the first fire set is accidental. I think it's more horrifying to think how arbitrary sociopathic behavior may be, that it may exist in all of us, and small turns of events turn her into a monster. The malevolence in her eyes is frightening, as is her cruelty to his son in her classroom, and we see how cruelty begets cruelty, as he dashes a rabbit repeatedly against the ground after an incident with her. That's one thing to beware of in the film, there is more than one scene of what appears to be actual cruelty to animals. There is also sexual humiliation - kissing boots, crawling on the ground, and getting spit on before being kissed - in a sequence that drags on over multiple scenes far too long towards the end. The film simply tries too hard to makes its point, sometimes with silly, obvious symbolism (for example, him unwrapping his snake and having her stroke it). Director Tony Richardson, with screen writing from Marguerite Duras based on a story by Jean Genet, certainly creates an image with this film, it's just not all that pleasant. On the positive side, he does capture several wonderful shots, mostly outdoors. It's as if he saying nature is beautiful, man is not. I also loved seeing Jeanne Moreau, who is fantastic.

Flawed, but interesting adaptation of Genet by Tony

Flawed, but interesting adaptation of Genet by Tony Richardson. Richardson seems to be a little in over his head with the material, but the screen presence of Jeanne Moreau and David Watkin's brilliant cinematography manage to make this an unforgettable viewing experience. The perversities and aberrance of the sociopath are disturbing but never explored deep enough to understand the allegory / metaphors at play. This experimental little gem of a movie has become a bit of a cult classic among art house cinema fans. I found it hard not to be pulled in from the opening shot of a vile woman opening the flood gates in her high heels shoes to the thud of the ending. And, I couldn't help but imagining The Stooges' "And, now I wanna be your dog" playing over an extended scene of erotic oddness. There are some very powerful cinematic moments to be found here.
