Les Vaincus
Oct 22, 1953Le désordre moral s'est répandu comme une traînée de poudre dans les esprits de la jeunesse européenne. Aussi bien en France qu'en Italie et en Grande-Bretagne. Ainsi, en France, un groupe d'étudiants n'hésite pas à tuer un de leurs camarades pour de l'argent. En Italie, un jeune homme néofasciste de bonne famille se lance dans la contrebande. Et en Angleterre, un poète ambitieux et naïf assassine une femme pour faire parler de lui dans la presse à scandale. Il va même jusqu'à tout avouer à la police. Ces différentes trajectoires marquent un constat cinglant des échecs sociaux que connaît l'Europe du début des années cinquante.

Bella Donna
Dec 11, 1934That old theatrical war-horse Bella Donna (previously filmed in America by Alla Nazimova) was resurrected by Britain's Twickenham Studios in 1934. Conrad Veidt stars as sinister Egyptian Mahmoud Baroundi, who even before the film gets under way has left a long trail of ruined women behind him. His latest victim is American girl Mona Chepstow (Mary Ellis), whom Baroundi treats like dirt and makes her like it. The plot centers around a murder by poison, as evidenced by the film's deliberately exotic title. Critics in 1934 praised newcomer Mary Ellis for underplaying her role, but many film fans preferred Nazimova's arm-waving histrionics in the earlier version.
