A pared-down tale of a barmaid oppressed by an exploitative foster family who attempt to push her into the arms of an unscrupulous regular-about-town, Marie's heart (exuberantly vivified by Gina Marès) belongs, as far as she's concerned, to the tenderly blank Jean (Léon Mathot)... Coeur Fidèle drives its simple story (which, with its infamous and exhilarating "carousel sequence", helped pave the way for he narrative tradition of such Murnau masterworks as Sunrise and City Girl) on into the realm of what might be considered an early incarnation of French poetic realism - all while still anticipating Epstein's magical, post-surrealist, later works. ...The Faithful Heart ( Coeur Fidèle ) ( Coeur fidèle (The Faith ful Heart) ) (Blu-Ray)
