Elena and Her Men (1956)

Elena and Her Men (1956) – J. Renoir

Delirious chaos surrounds Ingrid Bergman as she uses her erotic wiles to convince a popular general to let people power support him in a coup d'etat. Renoir echoes his own Rules of the Game (although this is a trifle or a truffle compared to that). Every scene seems to contain people crashing into each other and the state of madness reminded me of Preston Sturges. But in the end, this is definitely French and true love wins out over all.
