Product Description

Ninotchka (BD)

A stern Russian woman sent to Paris on official business finds herself attracted to a man who represents everything she is supposed to detest. Garbo Laughs! cheered the publicity for her first comedy, a frothy tale of a dour Russian envoy sublimating her womanhood for Soviet brotherhood until she falls for a suave Parisian man-about-town (Melvyn Douglas).

5.0 out of 5 stars GRETA GARBO AND "NINOTCHKA" LOOKS IMPRESSIVE FOR IT'S BLU-RAY DEBUT IN WARNER'S LATEST PRESENTATION
Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2015
Verified Purchase
When the marketing department for MGM started the publicity campaign for "Ninotchka"(1939), they took a cue from the past and just used two words: "Garbo Laughs". When the iconic film star made her first talkie, MGM used the tagline "Garbo Talks". Although she didn't make very many films during her career(only 28) before she retired in 1942, she became such a legend that her name is instantly recognizable nearly twenty-five years after her death. In the two decades(20's & 30"s) that she appeared in both silent and talkies her performances were so legendary that she became one of the biggest box office stars in the history of film. All that is on display in "Ninotchka" which many consider one of her greatest performances. Warner's has now brought this superb MGM film to Blu-ray for the first time and the results are very impressive. Although the original camera negative was lost in a fire years ago, Warner's has used a fine grain positive print of the film for it's Blu-ray presentation and the results are a vast improvement of the standard DVD despite it's low Bitrate(21.95). The cinematography by Garbo's favorite cameraman, William H. Daniels, is really highlighted now on Blu-ray. There are no vertical lines, dirt, torn or damaged frames and details are very sharp. This is very apparent in the Paris hotel room(The Royal Suite) where a lot of the film takes place. The MGM set designers were some of the best in Hollywood and they certainly outdid themselves with "Ninotchka". The interiors of the Royal Suite are just stunning with columns, furniture, props, wall paintings brought to new life on Blu-ray. Costumes are also very detailed with both formal and everyday wear looking extremely sharp(check out the double breasted suit worn by Melvyn Douglas). Blacks, whites and grays are very balanced with contrast being very sharp for the most part. There are a few soft scenes(mainly close-ups) but this has more to due with the available film elements than anything else. Brilliantly directed by the great Ernst Lubitsch with an absolutely superb script by Charles Brackett, Billy Wilder and Walter Reish, "Ninotchka" holds up very well after seventy five years and is one of the greatest satires on communism that's ever been written. As great as the script and direction are, it's Garbo that raises it to a level that even the writers probably never envisioned with her masterful performance in the lead role. With her impassive face, deadpan delivery and perfect comic timing, she's a wonder as Ninotchka, the perfect Soviet Bolshevik who dismisses Melvyn Douglas' sexual advances with the line: "Your race will soon be extinct" before she finally succumbs to the capitalistic pleasures she so despises when we first meet her. She gets great support from Melvyn Douglas and a who's who of supporting characters. "Ninotchka" is 110 minutes(aspect ratio: 1.37:1) and contains the following subtitles: English SDH, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. The Audio is English DTS-HD MA mono. French, Spanish and Portuguese are in Dolby Digital mono. Special features include the short "Prophet Without Honor", an MGM cartoon and the theatrical trailer. The Blu-ray itself is housed in an Eco-cutout case so anyone purchasing this new Blu-ray may want to switch to a more solid Blu-ray case for added protection. Please note that "Ninotchka" is also available in the just released Warner's box set called "The Golden Year - 1939" that also includes four other films in what is considered Hollywood's greatest year of film production. "Ninotchka" was one of those great films from 1939 and should certainly be a part of any film library now that it is finally on Blu-ray. Garbo laughs and so will you. It comes very highly recommended.

The magic touch of director Ernst Lubitsch is all over this classic romantic comedy, Greta Garbo's second-last film, about an icy Russian Communist agent sent on business to the fair city of Paris, but who ends up falling hook line and sinker for the decadent delights that only Paris can provide.

Ninotchka (Greta Garbo) is an uptight model of Communism in action. Her gradual transformation from rigid reformist to carefree Parisian socialite is a delight to behold. The script (by Billy Wilder, Charles Bracket and Walter Reisch) is crisp and filled with sparkle and wit. Greta Garbo, in her only Hollywood comedy role (if you don't count the disastrous TWO FACED WOMAN), glows. After years of being typecast in dramatic and (often) melodramatic roles. NINOTCHKA allowed Garbo to play both comedy and drama, as her character evolves during the story. Garbo's longtime costume designer Adrian decked Garbo out in some of her most beautiful gowns, and the score by Werner R. Heymann is outstanding. With Melvyn Douglas, Ina Claire, Bela Lugosi, Sig Ruman and Felix Bressart.

Warner's new DVD (part of the Greta Garbo Signature Collection) sadly skimps in the extra features department (only the trailer is included), but for fans of the film, and collectors of the Hollywood classics, this disc is a good purchase.

'
Ninotchka' by Ernst Lubitsch (1939, 110')'''

Ninotchka is a 1939 American film made for Metro Goldwyn Mayer by producer and director Ernst Lubitsch which stars Greta Garbo and Melvyn Douglas. It was written by Billy Wilder, and is Greta Garbo's first full comedy and her penultimate film. It is one of the first American movies which, under cover of humorous light romance, depicts the Soviet Union under Stalin: rigid and gray.

All the more so when compared to the free and sunny Parisian society of inter-war days. A delegation of three Russians is in Paris to sell jewelry confiscated from the aristocracy during the Revolution of 1917. Upon arrival, they meet Count Leon d'Algout (Melvyn Douglas), who in turn is on a mission from former Russian Grand Duchess Swana (Ina Claire) who wants to retrieve her jewelry before it is sold.

Count Leon fetes the delegation and talks them into staying in Paris. The Soviet government sends Nina Ivanovna "Ninotchka" Yakushova (Greta Garbo) as special envoy to expedite matters. Firm and stern at first, she slowly becomes seduced by the West and the Count, who falls in love with her. The three Russians also accommodate themselves to capitalism, but the last joke of the film is that one of them carries a sign protesting that the other two are unfair to him.

Released in 1939 in the United States, ie at the beginning of World War II in Europe, where it became a great success. It was, however, banned in the Soviet Union and its orbit. Despite this, it went on to make $m2.3 worldwide. Although much of the marketing surrounding Ninotchka played on Garbo's lighter image, this is not quite correct: The 1933 film Queen Christina includes light-hearted and comedic moments between Garbo and her co-star John Gilbert.

Film critic Dennis Schwartz discussed the humor of Ninotchka, writing, "The sly political jokes include Garbo saying: "The last mass trials were a great success. There are going to be fewer but better Russians" and there are a few well-placed jokes mocking the failed Soviet Five-Year-Plan. The most noteworthy Lubitsch touch scene revolves around a stag feast in a luxury hotel ordered by capitalist Douglas for the three grateful comrade emissaries, who can't believe their good fortune."

From today's perspective, the inter-war years 1919-1939 are nearly as remote as the times of Queen Christina, and history are also Greta Garbo's time in film as are anti-Soviet jokes (which were hardly jokes at the time). The evidence of Ninotchka, however, is still ample to explain why Greta Garbo, was so highly esteemed as an actrice ("the Divine"), and why we still speak of the Lubitsch Touch when meaning light, sophisticated comedy and romance.

Amoureuse inconditionnelle du cinéma d'Ernst Lubitsch dont je vois et revois tous les films parlants avec une jubilation qui ne s'élime jamais, je résiste le plus souvent à la tentation de les commenter ici parce que je crains l'écueil de la répétition, tant il est vrai que ce cinéaste génial, juif allemand né à Berlin et heureusement parti pour l'Amérique au début des années 1920 a, film après film, composé une œuvre véritable, non pas une mosaïque de films disparates mais un ensemble construit et cohérent où les personnages et les situations sont d'une grande diversité et d'une grande inventivité mais où l'unité résulte des thèmes, des climats et des points de vue sur la condition humaine, sur la comédie humaine, sur "l'insoutenable légèreté de l'être".
Doué d'une virtuosité époustouflante, Ernst Lubitsch est un peintre qui croque l'humain dans tous ses états, sous toutes ses facettes.
Sur sa palette : l'intelligence, l'alacrité, la finesse, l'humour, la subtilité, la puissance comique, la gravité, la critique politique et sociale acerbe sinon féroce mais toujours lucide et jamais dogmatique, le sens de la dérision, l'humanisme, l'indulgence, la tendresse, l'amour de son semblable enfin.
Pas de message idéologique, pas de leçon de morale, pas de jugement de valeur, Ernst Lubitsch dilate ou serre notre esprit et notre coeur en mettant en scène et en perspective le transparent et le trouble qui coexistent en chacun de nous, en respectant toujours notre libre arbitre.
Après avoir récemment revu Ninotchka, je ne résiste pas à la tentation...
Trop forte est mon envie de faire découvrir ce bijou à qui ne le connaîtrait pas encore et voudra bien me lire.
L'action se situe à Paris (ce qui n'est pas rare dans le cinéma américain de cet âge d'or en général ni dans celui de Ernst Lubitsch en particulier).
Elle (Greta Garbo) est un commissaire soviétique et lui (Melvyn Douglas) est un dandy parisien.
Elle, Ninotchka, est une camarade obéissante et zélée, dépêchée à Paris pour restituer à son peuple les bijoux d'une Grande Duchesse que la Révolution y a exilée.
Lui, Léon, est un aristocrate désoeuvré, frivole, ami serviable de la Grande Duchesse.
Ninotchka et Léon se rencontrent fortuitement alors que Ninotchka cherche son chemin pour "expertiser" la Tour Eiffel, scène d'une drôlerie irrésistible.
L'amour naît prestement entre cette commissaire soviétique apparemment glaciale et ce dandy parisien évidemment embrasé.
Non, je n'en dirai pas plus parce que ce bijou cinématographique doit être découvert avec un regard neuf et ingénu.
Sachez seulement que ce film léger et profond, drôle et sérieux, pétillant et émouvant, est un moment de bonheur absolu pour l'esprit et pour le coeur.
Billy Wilder a fortement contribué à l'écriture du scénario, c'est ainsi de deux génies du grand cinéma classique américain que ce film merveilleux est né.
Dans un bistrot populaire parisien, Ninotchka fait l'expérience d'un repas que seul un bistrot populaire parisien peut proposer... Léon amoureux l'y rejoint en feignant d'être un habitué du lieu... il lui raconte des histoires drôles qui la laissent de marbre mais soudain, Greta Garbo rit à gorge déployée...
Ce moment du film fut utilisé à des fins promotionnelles : "Greta Garbo rit !".
Vous le verrez si vous regardez ce film, ce que je vous souhaite absolument, le génie de la "Lubitsch touch" ne tient pas seulement dans le fait que Greta Garbo rit et fait rire.
Chaque film de Ernst Lubitsch a l'insigne pouvoir de nous rendre "intelligemment heureux".
Celui-ci en est une illustration majuscule.
