La Souriante Madame
Beudet (1923)
Directed by Germaine
Dulac this film stars Germaine Dermoz, Alexandre Arquilliere and Jean
d'Yd. A woman trapped in a loveless marriage dreams of being free of
her husband.
This is a fairly short
film and as such there is not a huge amount of plot here so this is a
pretty simple story. I did enjoy the ending but really the film is
not long enough to fully explore the idea of loveless marriages. What
is good here is the use of special effects to show the protagonists
desires and dreams which works really well.
4/5
