About Max Ophuls
Maximillian Oppenheimer (6 May 1902 – 26 March 1957) known as Max Ophüls, was a German-born film director who worked in Germany (1931–1933), France (1933–1940 and 1950–1957), and the United States (1947–1950). He made nearly 30 films, the latter ones being especially notable: La Ronde (1950), Le Plaisir (1952), The Earrings of Madame de... (1953) and Lola Montès (1955).
From https://www.britannica.com/biography/Max-Ophuls
"Largely dismissed during his time as a technically flashy auteur, Ophüls underwent serious critical reevaluation from the early 1970s. Prior to the advent of feminism, Ophüls’s thematic concerns were regarded as trivial in the male-dominated world of film scholarship. Since then, his films have been viewed as not only prophetic but also thoroughly contemporary. His camera work and use of lush decor, once derided as empty exercises in excess, have been regarded by revisionist critics as painstakingly intertwined with the state of mind of the central characters. His reputation continues to grow, and he is regarded as one of the masters of 20th-century cinema."
