Borowczyk charcoal one of the atomic accepted filmmakers of his era, inarguably an auteur, but one so aberrant and abnormal that he charcoal admired alone by a scattering of critics for his aboriginal surrealist plan and by band cine admirers for his later, sexually-explicit films. While from the mid-seventies alee his films would ambit from the acceptable (Behind Convent Walls, The Story of Sin) to the not-so-good (The Art of Love, Immoral Tales, etc), his film-making bequest rests with the camp La Bete, which abominably belongs to the closing category. However it is his aboriginal films (both activated and reside action) that are assuredly Borowczyk's key works – Blanche, for instance, is one of the finest films anytime made, while Goto the Island of Love is about as acceptable – and in abounding means these films set up the capacity that would be accustomed throughout abundant of his consecutive work, a lot of chiefly that sex is consistently affiliated with guilt, animality and death.
This is conceivably why La Marge is so unjustly obscure. The casting of Kristel (not to acknowledgment the film's alternating appellation Emmanuelle '77) suggests the blur was tailored to address to the softcore market, yet the absolutely black atmosphere and accountable matter, which includes death, affair and suicide, is decidedly at allowance with this. Compared to the added Borowczyk films of this period, with conceivably the barring of The Story of Sin, La Marge is decidedly restrained. The blur works because of its minimalism and ambiguity – the chat is sparse, apparently because of the actors' disability to allege French, and their appearance action is ambiguous to say the least. It is never fabricated bright why Sigimond is apprenticed to bluff on his acutely absolute wife, admitting it is conceivably no accompaniment that Diana added than hardly resembles her. Borowczyk as accepted fills the cine with beheld motifs, application cogitating surfaces to announce the duality of Sigimond's life, and lingering, unerotic shots of changeable ballocks to back what is at the amount of his accomplishments and desires, and what is, in essence, getting a Borowczyk film, Sigimond's prison.
The blur is beautifully photographed, abounding of the director's birdbrained brand framing, and, something rather abnormal for Borowczyk, appearance a arresting aeon soundtrack, from the aboriginal Kristel/Dallesandro sex arena played out to 10CC's I'm Not in Love to the beauteous blowjob arrangement set to Pink Floyd, and an absurd acme that employs Elton John's Funeral For a Friend. While La Marge is abnormally a Borowczyk blur in abounding respects, it aswell possesses a sombreness and ability that was attenuate for the director, for admitting the casual surreal moment (a dwarf watching television, a auberge maid analytical her breasts in the mirror, a deranged old woman watching sex through a keyhole), it is primarily a aboveboard assay of two bedevilled characters clumsy to escape the prisons of their existence. Fans of the director's aboriginal plan may acquisition the blur ever conventional, while admirers of his after aeon may be aghast by how aseptic it is, yet La Marge is an unfairly alone film, one of the director's a lot of constant and addictive works.
