The Charterhouse of Parma (French: La Chartreuse de Parme, Italian: La Certosa di Parma) is a 1948 French-Italian historical drama film directed by Christian-Jaque and starring Renée Faure, Gérard Philipe and Maria Casarès. It is based on the 1839 novel of the same name by Stendhal. The film's sets were created by the art directors Jean d'Eaubonne and Ottavio Scotti and the costumes were designed by Georges Annenkov. The film was made at the Cinecittà Studios in Rome while location shooting took place in Italy around Milan and Lake Como.[2]
It entered the competition at the 1948 Locarno International Film Festival, being awarded for best cinematography.[3] It was the most popular French film at the French box office in 1948.[4] In Italy it earned around 166 million lira on its release.[5]

The Charterhouse of Parma (French: La Chartreuse de Parme) is a novel by French writer Stendhal, published in 1839.[1] Telling the story of an Italian nobleman in the Napoleonic era and later, it was admired by Balzac, Tolstoy, André Gide, Lampedusa, Henry James, and Ernest Hemingway. It was inspired by an inauthentic Italian account of the dissolute youth of Alessandro Farnese.[2] The novel has been adapted for opera, film and television.
Today, more than half a century after the Cahiers wars, and regardless of their accomplishments, revisiting what was rejected (Claude Autant-Lara, Jean Dellannoy, René Clément, Yves Allégret) may seem as urgent as what was alternatively celebrated. Throughout the years, one of my personal preferences for returning to the classic era of French cinema has been following the architectural trends in those films with their dense spaces, wide use of existing decorative elements, paneling, fireplaces, mirrors, and ornamented surfaces, all now part of a bygone era.
First, let me say that the critique of a film or a book is totally separate from whether we think the events that are described in a film or a book are important and worth describing. There are many mediocre books or films about extraordinary events.
I also understand that some people may not care about the quality of the movie so long as many people in Argentina and elsewhere like it, and get emotional about it. It may be also politically expedient, as a person mentioned, to make it at the current time. Or it may be useful for Argentina\u2019s perception in the world as the events of the trial become better known internationally. All of these are valid points, but none of them has anything to do with the quality of the film.
Before I explain what I do not find appealing in the movie, let me dispense with two points. First, when I wrote that the movie is \u201Cpredictable\u201D, clearly I did not mean that it is predictable in the sense it should twist historical events which happened and which are obviously known. Any film that deals with historical events has to stay within these historic events. It does not make sense to write \u201CLa chartreuse de Parme\u201D where Napoleon wins at the Waterloo. What I meant, and clarified in the second tweet, is that the character development in the movie is entirely predictable. And it is predictable because it is based on well-known clich\u00E9s. Thus anyone who has seem these clich\u00E9s applied before knows exactly what to expect.
Gérard Philipe continued his string of film successes throughout the 1950s. Among these films were the Fyodor Dostoevsky adaptation Le joueur/The Gambler (Claude Autant-Lara, 1958) with Liselotte Pulver, and Les liaisons dangereuses/Dangerous Liaisons (Roger Vadim, 1959) opposite Jeanne Moreau. In 1959 doctors told Philippe that he had liver cancer. On 25 November that year, while working on Luis Buñuel's Le Fievre Monte a El Pao/Fever Mounts at El Pao (Luis Buñuel, 1959), he died at the peak of his popularity. He was just 36 years old. The news provoked an immediate and intense outpouring of grief. His early death elevated him to a near-legendary status in France. Since 1951, Philipe was married to actress and writer Nicole Fourcade, with whom he had two children, writer and actor Anne-Marie Philipe (1954) and Olivier Philipe (1957). Nicole adopted the pseudonym Anne Philipe, and wrote two books about her husband, Souvenirs (1960) and Le Temps d'un soupir (1963, No Longer Than a Sigh). In 1961, Gérard's portrait appeared on a French commemorative postage stamp. There is a film festival named in his honour as well as a number of theatres, schools and colleges in various parts of France. He was also very popular in Germany, and a Berlin theatre has been named after him.
