In "Applause," Thea(Paprika Steen) is just out of rehab and acting in a production of 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?' Otherwise, she is trying to get her life back together, with her ex-husband Christian(Michael Falch) having already re-married to Maiken(Sara-Marie Maltha), a psychologist. That becomes increasingly important for Thea, especially as it regards potential custody of her two young sons. While "Applause" has its strengths in being a character study, it is often just as obvious, which is best exemplified in its choice of a play within the movie.(Admittedly, 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?' does sound better in Danish than in English.) Plus, Paprika Steen's lead performance is more showy than powerful as a character whose issues may extend beyond her addictions.

coming of sound, baby! innovative camera work and of course, use of sound. and i thoroughly enjoyed the ending. take it back, yo.

A strange film where horrendous acting is wrapped inside layers of sheer technical genious, particularly in the sound department. One of the forerunners of sound cinema, Mamoulian's tragic melodrama works because of a carefully structured script and scenes of enveloping entertainment. It's hard to imagine the kind of impact this revolutionary "sound perspective" had on movie-goers, but the work that went into the craft is still impressive today, along with the sucker punch finale of the story.

Applause is familiar in its plot and characters and its ending is admittedly ridiculously harsh, but this is still such a good early sound film with some excellent, really groundbreaking camera movements and sound quality at display here and it is an excellent mix of musical, melodrama and romance with many dramatic and heartbreaking scenes, but also having many truly wonderful, romantic sequences that are so charming. It is a weird, but memorable early talkie.

A very powerful, tragic movie with an amazing performance by Paprika Steen. I always like boozy foreigners!
