Eric Rohmer’s Film ‘The Marquise of O’ Playing At BAM Is A Must See
by 
by Today we had the opportunity to view the press screening for Eric Rohmer’s “The Marquise of O” at BAMcinematek (Brooklyn Academy of Music), and if you’re familiar with the story line, then you know we were in for a treat.
The film’s original release date was in 1976. Rohmer’s aristocratic film, set in Italy during the 18th century, was inspired by a novella by Henrich von Kleist and the dialogue used was kept in the original German language. Luckily for us viewing, English subtitles were provided.
The plot of the story is that of a beautiful, virtuous widow who goes by the name of Julietta, also known as the Marquise of O. She becomes pregnant, and is unaware of how it is humanly possible. The film follows Marquise of O as she tries to protest her innocence and avert a possible exile. It is later revealed who the father of her child is. **No spoilers here**

There is so much to appreciate about this film. The entire film is filled with respect and tact amongst everyone. “The Marquise of O” is charming and honest. It is romantic literature brought to life by a cinematic genius. There is sensuality, there is rawness, there is a pure authentic feel.
Rohmer does an amazing job of turning a story about a woman’s unbeknownst pregnancy into one of her discovering her strength. This is a film that aficionados of neoclassicism would thoroughly enjoy. Rohmer makes you realize and appreciate the power that cinematography has to define life as we live it today.
Would we watch this film again? Most definitely, without a doubt. “The Marquise of O” gets 5 stars from us. But don’t just take our word for it, we urge you to support and check it out for yourself. The film will be showing at BAMcinematek until September 3rd.
