“A writer can do only one thing: to observe honestly the truth of life and to portray it with talent; all else is the impotent attempts of the old prudish.” – Guy de Maupassant Those who worked on the feature film Guy de Maupassant's Novels follow his covenant. The idea is simple: each Maupassant novel is filmed by different directors, each starring other actors. Colorful sketches by the classics of French literature were embodied on the screen by talented representatives of the French directorial school: Claude Chabrol, Denis Malval, Jacques Santamaria, Jacques Ruffio and others. The result is a bright kaleidoscope from the life of the XIX century. close
