La Ronde is a 1950 French anthology film directed by Max Ophüls and based on the French translation of Arthur Schnitzler's 1897 play Reigen. Set in Vienna in 1900, it shows ten amorous encounters across the social spectrum, from a street prostitute to the nobility, with each scene involving one character from the previous episode. The French term "La Ronde" can mean doing the rounds, a round of drinks, or a circular dance.
The film won the BAFTA award for Best Film and was nominated for two Academy Awards: Best Writing and Best Art Direction.[2]
