This is the film that not only introduced me to the film's of Roman Polanski but also to the amazing beauty of the relented miss Kinski..and I have been of both of them ever since.
@@derdritte7957 it was different, there have been improvements in technology, camera stabilisation for instance, different lenses, etc but as an art form it doesn't mean that its improved.
@@lw3646 Yes, it was different. But in a way that, I would argue, was even much better. By a long shot, in fact.

Recently watched this movie again after many years,,Still , the most beautiful, sad tragic movie .The part where Angel and Tess,are finally ,and settled for the night in that abandoned house at the end of the film where he is taking off her boot ,and after ,the embrace, as they fall together kissing is the most touching scene of true love that I have ever seen .The lovely music makes it even more poignant
The great Geoffrey Unsworth photographed "Tess," with additional photography by Ghislain Clocquet. I was fortunate enough to see the film on the big screen and the photography practically glows. I'm hoping the Bluray edition does it justice.
Nastassja Kinski celebrated her 60th birthday on January 24, 2021. She was born in 1961. She is a German actress and former model who has appeared in more than 60 films in Europe and the United States. Her worldwide breakthrough was with Stay as You Are (1978). She then came to global prominence with her Golden Globe Award-winning performance as the title character in the Roman Polanski-directed film Tess (1979). Other notable films in which she acted include the erotic horror film Cat People (1982), the Wim Wenders dramas Paris, Texas (1984) and Faraway, So Close! (1993), and the biographical drama film An American Rhapsody (2001). Kinski is fluent in four languages: German, English, French and Italian. She is the daughter of German actor Klaus Kinski.
A golden globe award when she was 17 years old when Tess was recorded. A feat in itself. She made the right decision to work wih Polanski, he clearly gave her good direction that helped her to unfold as an actress
Beautiful countryside, but it's definitely not Dorset. Filmed in France, since Polanski would have been extradited to the US had he dared to set foot in Britain. This is a very good film but I don't think it's necessarily the best version. Nastassja's Tess is too passive, and Polanski omitted some key plot elements. Still, not a bad way to spend a rainy afternoon. Gorgeous cinematography.
Elfoscuro, yes I know, but the two other versions included these crucial elements, including the fact that Tess and Alec meet up again by fate - he has become a preacher, and is giving a sermon she comes across him by chance. Polanski left that out, criticizing it as "too Victorian" , giving a ridiculous reason of Alec reappearing in Tess's life when her mother wrote to him - after her abandonment by Angel, when she could have written to him when Tess was pregnant.
@@Muirmaiden Polanski dedicated the film to his wife Sharon. She had read the book and thought it was good material for a film. He deviated too much from the book in my opinion.
It had been shown on British TV in the past! I recall seeing it one Christmas! Although it is a film based on a British novel the main actress is German the daughter of Klaus Kinski and the Director is French Roman Polanski I used to love this film as a child!
Я смотрела в Тэсс другую актрису, тоже очень красивую, но она играла гораздо лучше Кински, очень чувственно и профессионально. А Кински здесь холодная и немного наигранная

The cinematography is so beautiful. What a contrast to poor Tess’s life. A stunning, sad film.
One of the most beautiful movies I've seen. Same as Picnic at Hanging Rock, another 70s classic.
This is the film that not only introduced me to the film's of Roman Polanski but also to the amazing beauty of the relented miss Kinski..and I have been of both of them ever since.
One of the most beautiful actresses. Ever.
I agree, her face is something out of a dream
Definitely.
Nastassja's just painfully beautiful here...
A film so spiritual that it seems almost otherworldly
Very faithful to the book. It could serve as a model for all movie adaptations.
My god! She is gorgeous.
A scene so brilliantly shot for the late 70's.
😊
Weird comment, cinematography was anything but worse back than.

@@lw3646 the Cinematography is far worse today. Especially because of the digital but already before that. Peak was 60s/70s/80s
Can't wait to add this to my collection. It looks incredible.

I first saw the incredibly beautiful Kinski in Paris Texas... good actress too
I saw the film in Paris in mid 1980,one of the best .
She looked like a young Ingrid Bergman in this movie.
A beautiful movie. Very-very dark though.
It is a product of Thomas Hardy's doom ridden imagination. End of explanation.
Great picture quality, good job guys.
great movie, great book!

Nastassja is attractive, pretty, good-looking, alluring, lovely, charming, appealing, ravishing,engaging, gorgeous, stunning, seductive,coquettish, enchanting, beguiling, glamorous, graceful, elegant and beyond beautiful .
All that & And more! If I could look like anyone,it would be her or Audrey Hepburn!
So your a fan then?
Masterpiece ‼️❤️🦋

A great name.
So gorgeous
Very cute scene!
Geoffrey Unsworth, the cinematographer. Ala 2001.
Isn’t this the movie Sharon tats husband made in memory of her
I love Polanski and the way this movie was made. But the original book on which it was based... I guess people kinda mix up real villains and heroes.
Quiero verla doblada al esoañol
I saw her a couple of times.in Los Angeles at the theatre I worked at around 20 years ago. All of the guys were making a fuss over her daughter.
Which one?

Muirmaiden it's not best version..but it's the best cinematic adaption...remeber movies and books have different elements.

Does anyone know why this film never gets shown on British television? Never once have I seen it listed on TV, SKY, Netflix etc.

It's French owned
