La Ronde (1950 film)
1950 film by Max Ophüls
La Ronde is a 1950 French anthology film directed by Max Ophüls and based on Arthur Schnitzler's 1897 play La Ronde.
Set in Vienna in 1900, it shows ten amorous encounters across the social spectrum, from a street prostitute to a nobleman, with each scene involving one character from the previous episode. The French term 'La Ronde' can mean any of the following: circling around, doing the rounds, a round of drinks, a circular dance.
The film won the BAFTA award for Best Film and was nominated for two Academy Awards: Best Writing and Best Art Direction.[2]
