Watch: Une chambre en ville 1982 123movies, Full Movie Online – A film musical in which every line is sung. The frame is about workers during a strike. They also prepare and perform a demonstration. Two personal relations develop against this background. François abandons his pregnant girlfriend Violette. She feels treated even more unjust when he tries to defend and excuse his behaviour. He had met a very beautiful over-class girl, Edith, and both were immediately overwhelmed by genuine and reciprocal passion. Edith lived in a very unsatisfactory marriage. She was the daughter of the widow from which François rented his room. Nevertheless, he met her in the street, where she just opened her fur coat and was starch naked under it. They will be together in great passion for just one night and day. At the demonstration François is shot by the police and dies in Edith’s arms. – The music is closer to opera than in any other film musical by Jacques Demy. But the greatest difference is that he has devoted much more effort to the task of instructing the singers to reveal the psychic emotions of the text and events..
Plot: Set against the backdrop of an increasingly violent strike, a worker falls in love with the middle-class daughter of his landlady.

Demy Musical
I had thought Jacques Demy had abandoned his movie operas after the 1960s, but no, he hadn’t, and here’s the proof. He’s working with Colombier instead of LeGrand, and there’s a lot more recitative, but unlike others who have tried to translate opera onto the screen, he has cinematographer Jean Penzer shoot it like a movie…. although Mme. Darrieux’s flat does look like a stage design.I do wonder if her daughter is wearing only a fur coat, as the dialogue indicates.
A Bold Undertaking That Falls Far Short Of Its Potential
“Une Chambre de Ville” is a tragic opera set during the strike of a shipyard workers union in 1955. Against the backdrop of clashes between police and strikers, the story is about two star-crossed lovers.Francois is one of the striking workers and Edith is the dissatisfied wife of a television salesman. Fate brings them together and the result feels Shakespearian. They sing of never-ending love, but this is a story about unhappiness–for them and the other main characters.
Though the lyrics/dialogue are rather unpoetic in a classical sense, the music is powerful and lyrical. Indeed, the musical score is one of the best parts of the film.
Noticeable attention has been paid the scenery, with an emphasis on bright colors, providing striking images.
The actors have adequate singing voices, but the central theme–the great love of Francois (Richard Berry) and Edith (Dominique Sanda)– is unconvincing. Their love feels rather conventional, certainly not a love for the ages. The viewer wants to feel that each is an island oasis of love for the other, driving them to heights of passion and personal transformation. But instead they feel like two losers who converge for a desperate evening and remain unchanged. The musical score, which is so strong, promises a classic story of love, like “Phantom of the Opera”, but the characters fall far short.
The film’s ending is abrupt, and it serves to undermine the theme of everlasting love.
