Le Mystère d'Oberwald (titre original : Il mistero di Oberwald) est un film germano-italien réalisé par Michelangelo Antonioni, d'après la pièce de Jean Cocteau L'Aigle à deux têtes, diffusé en 1980.

Synopsis

Sebastiano, jeune poète anarchiste, est grièvement blessé par les gardes alors qu'il tente de s'introduire dans le château d'Oberwald où vit la reine qu'il projette d'assassiner. Mais, affaibli par ses blessures, il s'évanouit. La reine, endeuillée par la mort du roi, suspecte le chef de la police, car son propre décès lui permettrait de devenir régent. Depuis le meurtre de son mari, la reine a perdu goût à la vie et ne demande guère mieux que de subir un sort identique. Elle séquestre le jeune rebelle et le présente comme son lecteur attitré. Ils tombent très rapidement amoureux l'un de l'autre et Sebastiano l'incite à reconquérir son royaume. Le chef de la police, le comte Föhn, n'ignore pas que Sebastiano est caché au château. Il le fait bientôt arrêter et lui propose un marché : convaincre la reine d'abandonner son trône contre la vie sauve et la liberté. Sebastiano préfère se suicider à l'aide d'une pilule empoisonnée. Furieuse, la reine lui fait croire qu'elle ne l'a jamais aimé. Dans un dernier effort, Sebastiano, s'armant d'un pistolet, la tue. Les deux amants s'effondrent, leurs mains cherchant à se rejoindre.

Dans une ville fictive de Briakhimov, sur les bords de la Volga, Kharita Ogoudalova, une veuve de souche noble ruinée, est sur le point de marier sa seconde fille Olga, à un prince de Tiflis. Sa fille ainée, Anna, déjà mariée vit à Monte-Carlo. Il lui reste à trouver un bon parti pour sa cadette, Larissa. Plusieurs prétendants se disputent ses faveurs, mais aucun ne présente un réel intérêt en vue d'un mariage. Un ami d'enfance, Vassili Vozhevatov bien que nourrissant les sentiments pour Larissa n'arrive pas à se décider à épouser une jeune fille sans dot. Son rival en amour Moki Knourov, est richissime mais déjà marié. Larissa quant à elle, est éprise d'un grand séducteur Sergueï Paratov, qui acculé à la faillite quitte la ville le temps d'arranger ses affaires comme il dit. Ne le voyant pas réapparaitre, désespérée, la jeune femme accepte la demande en mariage d'un modeste fonctionnaire, Youli Karandychev qui l'aime certes, mais l'agace avec sa petitesse d'esprit. Karandychev triomphant ainsi sur les autres de façon si parfaite tient aussitôt à donner un banquet pour marquer le coup, malgré les protestations de Larissa. Tous se retrouvent devant le pauvre buffet, y compris Paratov qui rentre de son expédition. La fête vire au désastre quand l'heureux fiancé se soule non sans l'aide d'un valet engagé par Paratov qui entre-temps réussit à convaincre Larissa de partir avec lui. Lorsque Karandychev sort pour chercher encore quelques bouteilles, tous s'enfuient pour se retrouver sur le bateau Lastotchka que Paratov vient de céder à Knourov pour des raisons financières. La joie de Larissa est de courte durée - son amoureux, après une nuit passée en sa compagnie, lui avoue être fiancée à une autre. Son désengagement fait reprendre l'espoir à Knourov et Vozhevatov, qui pour se départager la belle jouent à pile ou face. Knourov qui remporte propose à Larissa de lui accorder une pension somptueuse, qui ferait taire toutes les mauvaises langues, pour devenir sa maîtresse. À ce moment Karandychev rattrape le bateau et exige que Larissa reparte avec lui, mais elle trouve encore moins déshonorant d'accepter la proposition de Knouvor. Sur quoi le fiancé éconduit lui lance, «alors, tu n'appartiendras à personne», et la tue d'un coup de pistolet.
