 | | La traviata is a morally absurd drama shaped to suit a repressed and warped feminine sensibility. | | | La traviata's fable traces fateful conjunctions that, at times, are almost paradoxical. | | | Both versions of La dame aux camélias and, inevitably, La traviata, play with the notion that an ethic of falsehood may secure society and assure the communion of mankind. |

| | So stuffed to the gills with decor, splashy camerawork and whirling, twirling, cavorting extras, "La Traviata" doesn't so much ignore the opera as overwhelm the story and music which were, presumably, the reason for making the film. | | | As a performance of "La Traviata," however, it borders on the perfunctory. | | | These "difficulties" derive from the untenable, though surprisingly persistent, belief that there is a "pure" version of a book, play or other literary effort that a filmmaker can somehow serve if only he or she is "faithful" enough to the original. |
