The French film director Claude Chabrol filmed Madame Bovary 's novel of the same name (1856) by Gustave Flaubert in 1991 . The story is about Emma Bovary, who, after marrying a village doctor, wants to escape the confines of the countryside and goes into debt through a luxurious lifestyle.
Chabrol claimed to have staged the film the way Flaubert would have shot it if it had had a camera instead of a pen. His version is one of the numerous Madame Bovary films. Jean Renoir (1933), Gerhard Lamprecht (1937) with Pola Negri and Vincente Minnelli (1949) with Jennifer Jones did this before him , in 1968 there was a German television series and the material was also taken up in a number of other productions.
Reviews
The film magazine Positif said that Chabrol's film adaptation says nothing about the setting, Normandy in the 19th century. The reconstruction is decorative, lukewarm and adheres too literally to Flaubert's text. The neglect of the characters' social environment leaves them in a vacuum. The Revue du cinéma came to a positive conclusion. He is too concise, even withholding some of the central scenes of the novel; this is ultimately not filmable. Nevertheless, it is one of Chabrol's good films, more sober than his others. Huppert played great, the male supporting actors were convincing, the sets and costumes testify to Flaubert's precision and richness of detail.
epd Film judged: “The result is a dense drama that one follows with excitement even if it is more than two hours long. (...) The cut is remarkable, with its steady rhythm and logic that does justice to Flaubert's relentless precision. (...) Chabrol's actors are excellent. ” The Fischer Film Almanach saw a relationship between Flaubert and Chabrol, because both created moral paintings of their time. The director has "quite successfully" transferred the style of the novelist into the film. "" Madame Bovary "can confidently be seen as one of his great realizations, also because of the performance of the actors, the camera and, last but not least, the equipment (...)."
