As Leo noted, the fluidity of the camera movement alone would be enough to secure this movie’s place in the pantheon of great films. While I’m inclined to favor Letter from an Unknown Woman for showing greater depth of feeling, Madame de… is still a staggering accomplishment, and definitely worth catching on the big screen.
