Description
Le roman de Werther
We could say that Werther made a mark after its theatrical release, reaping huge box office sales.
The film's premiere occurred in 1938 and was one of the most anticipated releases of the year.
Both the leads and supporting actors (Pierre Richard-Willm, Annie Vernay, Jean Galland, Jean Périer, Henri Guisol) do an excellent job.
Each film director has his own style when it comes to producing feature films and Max Ophüls 's style is clearly reflected in this film.
The characters live the experience throughout 95 min..
France has been the country in charge of bringing this story to life.
You can see a hard work on the part of Max Ophüls, Hans Wilhelm, Fernand Crommelynck, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe that as a result a most sophisticated script has been obtained.
When behind a film there is a production company as important as Nero Film, it shows in the results.
The key moments of a film must be accompanied by a soundtrack or songs that go according to the moment and that has been taken care of Paul Dessau.
The mythical scenes in which the main character is in a visually very harmonious environment, is the product of the great work of Fédote Bourgasoff, Paul Portier, Eugen Schüfftan.
If we had to frame this film in a specific genre, that would be Romance, Drama.
