action

Marcellin brings the news to the actors Pierre Arditi, Sabine Azéma, Anne Consigny, Lambert Wilson, Mathieu Amalric, Anny Duperey, Hippolyte Girardot, Jean-Noël Brouté, Gérard Lartigau, Michel Piccoli, Michel Robin, Jean-Chrétien Sibertin-Blanc and Michel Vuillermoz that playwright Antoine d'Anthac passed away unexpectedly. He asks her to grant d'Anthac's last wish and to go to his country house to open his will. The actors gradually arrive at the property and are greeted by the servant Marcellin and later asked to take a seat in the entrance hall. A large screen will open and d'Anthac will appear on it. In the recording, he thanks the actors who played roles in his play Eurydice at different times , for example his first Eurydice, Sabine Azéma, and the first Orpheus, Pierre Arditi, as well as the later role owners Anne Consigny and Lambert Wilson. D'Anthac asks the actors to look at a production by the young theater group Compagnie de la Colombe and to assess whether this production was successful enough to be performed. This is followed by the staging of the play in four acts on the screen.

In the play, the violinist Orpheus and the young actress Eurydice meet in a train station café and fall in love on the spot. Orpheus therefore refuses to leave with his father. Eurydice separates from her friend Mathias, whom she has never loved and who throws himself in front of the next train. She travels with Orpheus to Marseille , where both move into a hotel room. Eurydice has doubts about their relationship, but Orpheus can reassure her. She goes shopping for dinner. Eurydike impresario Dulac appears and tells Orpheus that Eurydice has been his lover for a year, which he does not want to believe. Shortly afterwards Orpheus learns that Eurydice had an accident on the bus to Toulon when a tank truck crashed into the bus. Eurydice died instantly. With the help of the ominous Monsieur Henri, Orpheus can meet Eurydice again. However, he is not allowed to see her again until daybreak, but in his jealousy of Dulac forgets himself and looks at her. Only then does he learn that Dulac has tied Eurydice to himself with blackmail. He falls into melancholy, meets his father, with whom he now wants to leave, and finally sees Monsieur Henri again, who first tries to convince him that their love would never have lasted anyway because one of them would have grown tired of the other. Orpheus vehemently denies and finally accepts his death in order to be united with Eurydice forever.

While the play is playing on the screen, the guests fall back more and more intensely into their roles from back then, initially join in with the dialogues and finally find themselves partly in the scene for the play, for example at the train station or in the hotel. Occasionally scenes between Azéma – Arditi and Consigny – Wilson run one after the other or parallel to one another. At the end the piece is over and the guests are back in their seats. Marcellin, however, has a surprise ready: Antoine d'Anthac appears. He was never dead, rather he took a test because he wanted to see whether his piece was still worth playing. The guests are relieved and greet him with delight. A short time later, Antoine d'Anthac drowns himself in the nearby lake. The newspapers report on his death. When the guests have disappeared from the cemetery after the funeral, the Eurydice actress from the Compagnie de la Colombe appears and she goes to his grave. The cemetery setting and the representation of a theater building in which Eurydice is being performed are mixed up with the last sentence of the play: "Orpheus is with Eurydice, at last."

criticism

For the service movie- was of you will be surprised a "brilliant film by Alain Resnais about neighborhoods and differences between film and theater." The time praised the film as "one of Alain Resnais' most intellectual and yet most playful film-literary works ever, with more agile Lightness staged. ” You will still be amazed at“ a multi-layered theater-within-a-film drama in which different levels of reality and fiction overlap, the film becomes reality, reality becomes film, and the theater in turn both the Dramaturgy pretends. That is complex and demanding ”.

"France's old master Alain Resnais celebrates dignified acting for theater lovers," said Cinema . Der Spiegel stated that the film sometimes has lengths and is logically "not always easy to understand" - "But who says that things have to be uncomplicated in life, in love or in the cinema". "Or when one should slowly say goodbye to one and the other?"
