Casque d’or / Rakastajatar. PC: Speva Films; Paris Films. A Discina release. P: Robert Hakim, Henri Baum / André Paulvé. D+SC+ED: Jacques Becker. Music theme: ”Le Temps de cerises”. CAST: Simone Signoret (Marie, Casque d’or), Serge Reggiani (Manda), Claude Dauphin (Félix Leca). 97’. B&w. Visa de censure 8542. Finnish / Swedish subtitles by Marjatta Kaija / Eirik Udd. A worn print. Presented by Claude Beylie, who commented, among other things, that ”the truth of the men in the film lies in their moustaches”. Viewed at SEA, Cinema Orion, Helsinki, Thursday, 2 October 1997. **** Still grand and forceful after all these years. The love story amongst the Apaches of 1898 combines the sensuality of Renoir with the laconic power of an American thriller. It’s about love, friendship and devotion, about risking everything for what’s worth it. Everything - dialogue, acting, camerawork, music, montage - blends perfectly to produce a profound electric charge. A director’s movie, absolutely, but also a producer’s dream come true.
