3 things about Max Ophüls’ THE EARRINGS OF MADAME DE…

The Earrings of Madame de… [1953]

1. “One way of leaving a woman is to let her leave.”
2. Roulette. Felt-covered table. Subtle spotlight on the number 13.
3. A moving train. She tears up the letter and scatters the fragments out the window, which turn into snowflakes falling on the landscape.
