Gervaise Reviews
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Maria Schell (sister of Maximillian) givs a touching performance in Rene Clement's screen version of Emile Zola's grim social-realist novel, which was nominated for an Oscar in 1956.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Grim period film of 19th century Paris that encompasses the human condition.
The Reporter
Stanley Kauffmann
The best compliment one can pay the new French film Gervaise is to say that it represents faithfully the Zola novel on which it is based.
Film Culture
Arlene Croce
As a film version of Zola's L'Assommoir, Gervaise emerges as the finest rendering of a literary classic the cinema has given us since David Lean's Dickens films.
