(aka 'Le Carrosse d'or' or 'Le Carrozza d'oro)
France / Italy 1952
François Truffaut described The Golden Coach as “the noblest and most refined film ever made”. Set to the music of Antonio Vivaldi and with the vivacious Anna Magnani (Rome, Open City), Jean Renoir’s ravishing, sumptuous tribute to theatre involves a viceroy who receives an exquisite golden coach and gives it to the tempestuous star of a touring commedia dell’arte company. Set in Peru in the eighteenth century, The Golden Coach follows Camilla (Magnani), the star of a theater company, who hesitates to choose between the advances of three men. The Viceroy gives her his magnificent golden coach. A young Spanish officer suggests the two of them settle down together. Ramon, a torero, offers her a share of his glory. *** The Golden Coach (Le Carrosse d’or) is a ravishing eighteenth-century comic fantasy about a viceroy who receives an exquisite golden coach, and gives it to the tempestuous star of a touring commedia dell’arte company. Master director Jean Renoir’s sumptuous tribute to the theatre, presented here in the English version he favored, is set to the music of Antonio Vivaldi and built around vivacious and volatile star Anna Magnani. |

Bottom line for me - I thought this was a highly pleasing HD presentation. It also may show a shade more information in the top and bottom of the frame as compared to the DVD.

On their

The Golden Coach
is notable for the music of Antonio
Vivaldi (as stated "Musical score selected from the works of Antonio
Vivaldi (1675-1740), played by The Rome Symphony Orchestra - Conductor
Gino Marinuzzi Jr.") Vivaldi ranks amongst the greatest Baroque
composers and his influence during his lifetime was widespread and is
best-known work is a series of violin concertos known as The Four
Seasons. It sounds lively and pristine
in the lossless transfer. Beautiful. Raro Video offer optional English subtitles on
their Region FREE

Jean Renoir's The Golden Coach
has been described by Eric Rohmer as 'the open sesame' of all
Renoir's work. The two customary poles of his work—art and nature,
acting and life—take shape in two facing mirrors, which reflect each
other's images back and forth until it is impossible to tell where one
ends and the other begins." Renoir's tribute to the theatre did not
fare well at the box office - in any of the three languages it was
shown. However, since then many critics and film aficionados alike
appreciate the depth of filmmaking and its delightful comical-fantasy
expression with life-and-art inexorably linked. I am duly impressed by the Raro Video Blu-ray
