Wonder why this was such a flop w/ me. I guess it's not due to aggressive classicism sieging each frame as if the film assumed the role of its last outpost in the arts. Just when you think the detail couldn't get more hirsute, the edifice grows even more encrusted and overflourished like the 'Ideal Palace' of Postman Cheval or ineffectual electric jolts applied onto the corpse of its bad plot & despicable characters.

Daniel S.'s rating of the film Eva

The film handles the same theme -obsessive and destructive love- than The Gypsy and the Gentleman, a film Joseph Losey directed four years earlier. As it is, the movie is still captivating. Highly recommended.

Blacklisted from Hollywood by HUAC, Losey's style is alienated and cool, but Jeanne Moreau is hot as a pistol!

LA DOLCE VITA (1960) and Antonioni's "trilogy on modernity and its discontents" (1960-1962) according to Losey.

Am I really supposed to feel sorry for him? She warned him not to fall in love with her. Yes, it sounded like a challenge, but perhaps people have to make that mistake for themselves.

What at first seems like a sloppy film filled with pretension and facade becomes a carefully crafted film ABOUT pretension and facade, turning gender stereotypes and hip nonchalance against themselves to reveal the broken humans cowering underneath. Very good.

If only the original was available....though Losey admitted he might have gone too far in his first cut and apparently did agree to some of Hakim brother's changes. Who else composes shots like losey? Some amazing sequences.

FISCHER's rating of the film Eva
FISCHER

Une oeuvre inoubliable, sous forme d'acidulée et navrante parabole à résonnance biblique, constatant avec une amère lucidité l'inévitable faillite des relations entre les deux sexes. L'exceptionnelle interprétation de Jeanne Moreau en lumineuse garce fatale ne doit pas faire oublier la fine et délicate composition de la magnétique Virna Lisi, d'une marquante et discrète présence cinématographique. www.cinefiches.com
