Beautiful film, excellent commentary - La Ronde review by HL
Not only is this a beautiful film with major stars of the mid-20th century French cinema, but there are two excellent sections of commentary by two different experts who give information about the director, Max Ophuls, his work and his time.

Probably a great film if you could understand a word of it - La Ronde review by JK
In the 21st century is it really still impossible to subtitle foreign films (or indeed any films needing them) so that people can actually read them?
This film was frustrating and we gave up half way through because the subtitles were totally unreadable. If the background is black there's not much point having black subtitles. Conversely, white ones printed over images of people crossing the desert or in snowy surroundings aren't much help either.
Sorry - it was a highly rated film in its day and was probably very good - we'll never know.

Circle of Love - La Ronde review by NO
A pleasant film but rather dated when you compare the love scenes to todays erotic sexual displays.I did not like Walbrook giving a commentary-I thought it silly.
Do not understand JK,s comments re the subtitles-I put mine on the Tv & could read every word.It may have been shocking in its day but I do not think it deserves the
praise it gets in reviews.
