At the end of Liebelei there's a shot of Christine that goes on for eternity.
 |
 |
She's in agony but we stare and stare. Long after decency demands we look away.
|
|
Christine makes us self-conscious and embarrassed. In fact it's Christine who's doing the looking. Looking for something to fill her void before she throws herself out of the window. It's Christine who is the subject and we are her objects, her audience.
|
|
The heart of a Max Ophüls movie is the heart of its subject.
 |
|
Or sometimes two or three subjects intertwine.
 |
|
Donati and Louise encounter each other for the first time at a custom station and begin a passion that will kill them.
 |
 |
Their fatal encounter takes just four shots.
 |
 |
 |
 |
Just four shots.
