Devastating, due primarily to Joan Fontaine's magnificent, vulnerable performance. She does this thing with her eyes that I can't quite articulate, but it communicates an interiority that speaks to me. A lifetime of yearning captured in a glance. Equally brilliant was the camerawork and direction by Ophuls (it's my first of his films)--lots of sweeping, fluid tracking shots that amplified the romanticism and heartbreak on display. Loved it.
