5.0 out of 5 stars Un classique de Ettore Scola, ., December 25, 2002
By 
Michèle Caya (Pointe-Claire ( Montréal), Quebec Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Le Bal [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Sans parole (mais non pas muet). Le film nous montre l'évolution d'une clièntèle régulère d'un petit "bal". A voir et à revoir pour finir par comprendre le mode allégorique de ce film.Des personnages qui viennent et reviennent avec des âges différents, une histoire différente, des liens créés entre eux à ce "bal". Il n'y a pas d'histoire dans ce film, sauf celle que le spectateur peut déduire

5.0 out of 5 stars When the words are superfluous, May 30, 2007
By 
Galina (Virginia, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Le Bal [Region 2] (DVD)

In "Le Bal" (1983) directed by Ettore Scola, the 50 year history of Europe happens in front of you in one ballroom somewhere in Paris where the same actors play the different characters that live through their dances from 1930s to the 1980s as the time passes by and politics, social behavior, and fashion change with each new epoch... For less than two hours we would go through the wars, peace, racial conflicts, student riots of 1968 while Ettore Scola's camera never leaves the ballroom. Dialogues and relationships are realized through the music and dancing only with no word spoken. Ironically, the film was nominated by the Academy for the Best Foreign Language movie award. It should've been nominated for the best Universal Language award - the language of music. The soundtrack features the works of such composers as Frederick Chopin, Irving Berlin, John Lennon, and Paul Mc Cartney. The original music was written by one of my favorite film composers, Vladimir Cosma. I saw "Le Bal" over twenty years ago and it has stayed with me over all these years as fantastic, one of its kind unforgettable film.
