Sep 19, 1972  “The Sorrow and the Pity” leaves you with the peculiar feeling of having spent a good deal of time, over the years, in the small French city of Clermont-Ferrand. You know the inhabitants by name, and quite a few of their faces.

Synopsis[edit]

Part one of the film, The Collapse, has an extended interview with Pierre Mendès France. He was jailed by the Vichy government on trumped-up charges of desertion after leaving France on the SS Le Masilia, together with Pierre Viénot [fr], Jean Zay, and Alex Wiltzer [fr], in an attempt to rejoin his military unit which had moved to Morocco. But Mendès France escaped from jail to join Charles de Gaulle's forces operating out of England, and later served as prime minister of France for eight months from 1954 to 1955.

Part two, The Choice, revolves around Christian de la Mazière, who is something of a counterpoint to Mendès France. Whereas Mendès France was a French Jewish political figure who joined the Resistance, de la Mazière, an aristocrat who embraced Fascism, was one of 7,000 French youth to fight on the Eastern Front wearing German uniforms.

The film shows the French people's response to occupation as heroic, pitiable, and monstrous—sometimes all at once. The postwar humiliation of the women who served (or were married to) German soldiers perhaps gives the strongest mix of all three. Maurice Chevalier's 'Sweepin' the Clouds Away' is the theme song of the film. He was a popular entertainer with the German occupation force.

Production[edit]

Initially commissioned by French government-owned television to create a two part made for TV documentary,^[3][when?] the film was banned after Olphus submitted it to the studio that hired him.^[4]

Release[edit]

The film 'had its world premiere in Germany.'^[3][when?] This film was first shown on French television in 1981^[4] after being banned^[5] from that medium for years. In 1969, after the director submitted the film to the studio that hired him, the network head 'told a government committee that the film 'destroys myths that the people of France still need'.^[4] Frederick Busi suggests that this was because of how uncomfortable it is to face the reality of collaborationism. Writing of French conservative establishment groups' reactions to the film, 'They, too, preferred that little be said about their role, and in some ways this reluctance is more significant than that of the extremists, since they represent so large a segment of society and mainly dominate contemporary politics.'^[3] It is frequently assumed that the reason was French reluctance to admit the facts of French history. While this may have been a factor, the principal mover in the decision was Simone Veil, a Jewish inmate of Auschwitz who became a minister and the first president of the European Parliament, on the grounds that the film presented too one-sided a view.^{[6][clarification needed]}

Reception[edit]

The candid approach of the 1971 documentary The Sorrow and the Pity shone a spotlight on antisemitism in France and disputed the official Resistance ideals.^[7][8]Time magazine gave a positive review of the film, and wrote that Marcel Ophüls 'tries to puncture the bourgeois myth—or protectively askew memory—that allows France generally to act as if hardly any Frenchmen collaborated with the Germans.'^[9] In France, after its release, communists, socialists, and 'independent groups' treated the film favorably, however, the far right disapproved on account of the director's background.^[3] Some^[who?] denounced the film as unpatriotic.^[4] The film has also been criticized for being too selective and that the director was 'too close to the events portrayed to provide an objective study of the period.'^[3][10] In 2001, Richard Trank, a documentarian of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, described it as 'a film about morality that explores the role of ordinary people'.^[5] It was nominated for an Academy Award in 1971 for Best Documentary Feature.^[11][12][13] It won 'the Grand Prize of the Dinard Festival [fr]'.^[3][when?] It received 'a special award by the National Society of Film Critics, which called it 'a film of extraordinary public interest and distinction.'^[5][when?]

In popular culture[edit]

Woody Allen's film Annie Hall (1977) makes two references to The Sorrow and the Pity as 'a gag line' because of its long running time.^{[14][13][5][15]}
