english surtitles
An imaginary kingdom like Pontevedro re-evoked in a sparkling ville lumière where
the tragic-comic adventures of a series of characters that could come from our
upper-class news columns take place, and a millionaire widow is encouraged to
remarry owing to reasons of State while a young lady, as elegant as her name, tries
to conceal a dangerous flirt.
Die lustige Witwe blends the lightness and brilliance of the brushstrokes (a
combination of publicity and the figurative arts) that characterise the work of
Toulouse-Lautrec with the agitated, tormented lines of the women in Giovanni
Boldrini’s portraits. The result is a marvellous caricature of a society that lives off
bubbles.
