With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Best for anyone in the mood for a love story and war-film fans. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something. Fans of The English Patient or Before Sunrise should feel right at home.
- The mood
- Intense, warm and romantic.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 50 min.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1926: an older pace and style.
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
Fanny von Berg's engagement to Count Maxim von Hurtig is suddenly broken off and she is denounced by her family for a suspected indiscretion. When they are reduced to starvation by the war, the family members accept her earnings without acknowledging the source. As the hostess of a Viennese night club, Fanny becomes the mistress of a rich war profiteer. The Count, loving her still, prevents her from making further sacrifices for her or his people, and they find ultimate happiness in the prospect of a new life together. A lost film.
