Synopsis
One of the great novels about obsessive love, The Woman and The Puppet was first published in France in 1898 and is considered Louys' masterpiece. It has inspired five film versions, including von Sternberg's in 1935 and Bunuel's in 1977. The Woman and the Puppet drew some of its inspiration from Bizet's Carmen, as well as a particular episode in Casanova's Memoirs. It is a precise account of obsessive love, a distillation of decadent themes that hold good from one fin-de-siècle to another, a cautionary tale whose title acknowledges that for a woman to be 'fatale' requires the complicity of a male puppet. The novel opens during the boisterous Seville Carnival of 1896, which Andre Stevenol, an amorously-inclined young Frenchman, succeeds in attracting the attention of the alluring young Concha Perez. A rendezvous is arranged, but before it can take place Andre meets Don Mateo, who, in a long monologue recounts his affair with Concha and seeks to dissuade the younger man from becoming embroiled with the 'worst of women'. who had teased, ridiculed and humiliated him. The warning like most warnings had little effect. 'Oscar Wilde described the author as 'too beautiful to be a man'; his classic tale of sexual teasing, in which the beautiful Concha offers her lover everything except her virginity, has been filmed several times. Marlene Dietrich took the role in 'The Devil Is A Woman'; Luis Bunuel called his version 'That Obscure Object Of Desire'. Concha says of her prize: 'It's my guitar, and I'll play it for whoever I like'. Andrew Crumey in Scotland on Sunday
