Synopsis

An Original Film... As Beautiful As It Is Bizarre...

A skirt-chasing fashion photographer meets a charming young woman who captures his interest immediately. She is not wholly forthcoming, but after a period of time, he realizes that he is in love with her -- she is not just another conquest. It takes awhile before he also realizes that she is the partner of his femme associate who is possessive, at the very least.

  • Review by Adriana Scarpin ★★½

    Em honra de Marie Laforêt (1939 - 2019).
    Esse filme é absolutamente hediondo, estou dando duas estrelas porque pelo menos é bem filmado, o Paul Guers é um macho chato do caralho, a Marie Laforêt só chora o filme inteiro e tem mais gente falando alto e gritando por todo lado do que filme de terror, sem contar que Balzac às vezes escrevia umas estórias bem bostas. Ugh.
    Plus: Laforêt fotografada em preto e branco se passaria perfeitamente como irmã da Barbara Steele.

  • Review by Mathieu Li-Goyette ★★★★

    Si Out 1 n’existait pas, ce film aurait eu la palme de la plus belle adaptation de Balzac.

    Aussi : pas un maudit cinéaste du cinéma ne filme comme Albicocco, Scorsese ayant l’air d’un pépère à côté de la vélocité des plans de caméra de ce premier film.

  • Review by Francesca de Rochefort ★★

    Jean-Gabriel Albicocco is a filmmaker largely unknown even to veteran cinephiles today but for a brief spell in the 1960s he produced a few commercially successful movies that placed him within the French nouvelle vague while also showcasing a distinctively lavish and baroque style very different from his peers. The Girl with the Golden Eyes, based on a Balzac story but brought to the 1960s, was his debut feature film.

    Albicocco managed to get a good team together to make this film - his father, Quinto Albicocco, did cinematography and together they account for probably the film's biggest virtue, the absolutely gorgeous monochrome photography that makes this film rich to look at. The visuals resemble the best of 40s noir…

  • Review by Marquis de Suave ★★★½

    I’ve wanted to see this flick ever since it was mentioned in Susan Sontag’s groundbreaking essay “Notes on Camp”. The inclusion of a recent French flick alongside the more obvious kitsch namechecks such as Carmen Miranda flicks felt anomalous and intriguing. Years later, I was finally able to catch up with director Jean-Gabriel Albicocco’s feature debut, which is all but forgotten save for the reference in the influential Sontag piece. The camp element comes from how unabashedly pretentious in that unique French way the film is, almost playing as a parody of the New Wave. Its pretensions are endearing, from the elliptical, difficult to follow narrative of a bizarre love triangle and the imperceptibility of memory (it follows similar themes…

    این فیلم مهجور خانواده‌ی آلبیکوکو [ پدر (کینتو ، فیلمبردار ) ، پسر (ژان_گابریل کارگردان ) و عروس ( ماری لافوره بازیگر ) ] از آن موارد سردرگم کننده است !
    کینتو آلبیکوکو (که پیشتر فیلم در مسیر رودخانه‌ ی فرانژو را از او دیده بودم ) هوشرباترین نماهای سیاه و سفید از سیمای زیبای بازیگران و زمستان پاریس با درختان لخت و خیابان‌های باران خورده‌ اش را فراهم آورده است . از سویی دوربین پر جنب و جوش ، اکسسوار انباشته صحنه‌ها و رومانتیسم گزنده یادآور اوفولس است .

    The Girl with the Golden Iris.

    7/10.

    Whilst taking part in a best movies of 2017 poll on ICM,I found out that a "1960's Challenge" was taking place,which involved watching any films from that decade. Checking DVDs waiting to get viewed,I was excited to find a French New Wave title I never see mention fit into the decade,which led to me looking into the golden eyes.

    View on the film:

    Looking into the eyes of the French New Wave (FNW) storm,director Jean-Gabriel Albicocco & his cinematographer dad Quinto Albicocco shine a light on the era with fluid, ultra-stylised tracking/floating shots that glide into the debauchery life of Marsay.

    Flooding the opening credits with flashing car lights, the Albicocco's glaze the dreamy…

  • Review by Quinn

    A bizarre and somewhat confusing Balzac adaptation, with a predatory lesbian so devious that she gives Mrs. Danvers a run for her money. At least the cinematography is cool.

  • Review by Nikola Gocic ★★★★½

    In Jean-Gabriel Albicocco’s entrancing debut that appears as mature as a peculiar mixture of Antonioni and Resnais with the hints of Cocteau and Franju, love is in equal measures folie and melancholy; as bizarre as pigeons suddenly appearing and flying around the bedroom, and as clichéd as raindrops sliding down the window-glass. It feels like a slap in the face, as well as like a snow of feathers from a torn pillow; it makes one inebriated, and the other mysterious, while both fall victims of obsession. But, above all, it brings forth a super-reality (or rather, surreality?) in which lovers and the viewer get lost, until it starts disintegrating once the third player joins the whimsical romance.

    A modernization of…

  • Review by jimmymarkum ★★★

    This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

    I found Jean-Gabriel Albicocco's movie, an adaptation from Honoré de Balzac very stylish for a debut, if perhaps a bit awkward to follow. A decadent playboy (Paul Guers) is so enchanted by the titular fille (Marie Laforet has a fit magnetic look) popping out randomly around him, that he cinematographically-simply cannot let her not fall for him. Expectedly he falls for her too, as he discovers she already has a woman-lover (Francoise Prevost) who cinematographically-incidentally happens to be his half-sister. The girl confesses she's fallen in love with that lady-killer so the story can only cinematographically-tragically end
