Description
 
This is a region-free DVD+R without case or artwork.

In French with English subtitles. Widescreen. Also known as The Main Thing is to Love.

A freelance photographer, Servais Mont (Fabio Testi), falls in love with Nadine Chevalier (Romy Schneider), an aspiring actress who, having failed to make the big time, has no other option than to appear in cheap exploitative movies. Although Servais and Nadine are attracted to one another, they maintain a distance. Nadine is still emotionally dependent on her husband, Jacques, himself an insecure man, and Servais is unwilling to rush into a new relationship, fearful that base desire may corrupt the purity of his feelings for Nadine. Knowing that there is little chance he will ever be able to pay the money back, Servais obtains a loan from his underworld employers to finance a production of Richard III, in which Nadine will play the main female role...

Romy Schneider turns in what is, arguably, the performance of her career. Not long before she made the film, Schneider had separated from her first husband, Harry Meyen, and had gone through an acrimonious and costly divorce. Her real-life traumas are no doubt reflected in the performance she gives in this film, a film that proved to be chillingly prophetic. Mirroring the fate of her husband in the film, Meyen would subsequently commit suicide, the first in a series of tragic personal disasters that would propel the actress to a premature death.

5 of 5 Stunning film, might be Zulawski’s best December 10, 2022
Reviewer: Sean Yeatts from Forest, VA United States  
Great movie! The Movie Detective DVD is an excellent transfer with clear, easy to read to subtitles. Worth the price just to watch Klaus Kinski in one his most memorable performances, do not miss it!

5 of 5 Major discovery December 20, 2015
Reviewer: Paul Stumpf from Jackson Heights, NY United States  
This is a great film from the incredibly underrated Andrej Zulawski.  It plunges breathlessly into a messy, violent world of its own, and you won't get your breath back until it's over.  Courageous, utterly committed perfomances by Romy Schneider and Fabio Testi.  Any one interested in cinema must see this.
