Audience Member It's a masterpiece. Nearly everything in this film is perfect, from the direction by Mr. Rohmer to the beautiful locations, from the intelligent natural cinematography to the convincing actors and the soundtrack which is as natural as it can get, creates a perfect balance of a film. You can watch it over and over again. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member A very simple, but thoughtful movie.

Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member It's hard to put into words the intrigue of this film. It's very beautiful, and as is common with Rohmer, full of sexual tension. But that provides a vehicle for him to explore the inner life of the protagonist in a memorable way.

He is engaged but still a man filled with opinions about and experience with women. I get the vibe from Linklater's films as we meet the first lady here. They just chat. They seem to have a solid history. There are few men here, except from the lead, Jerome. He is a nice and smart man, and to help his known ladyfriend writing a story, he fakes a passion about a much younger girl. It's never unpleasant, but still unsettling all the way. It's all in the viewers head in a way. Then he meets Claire. A very young lady, still very beautiful. He kind of wants her, but he just want to know that he really can have her - even if it's wrong for many reasons. He want's to prove something. First and foremost he wants to touch her knee. The dialogues are clever and poetic. It's setting is in nice surroundings, summer in France. Sometimes by a small boat, other times we're in a garden - listening to their chatting. A slow but pleasent film. Great characters and super acting, especially by the lead. Provocative but very subtly so. It's about love, sex and moral - but all key elements stays hidden. It's radio erotica. My first Rohmer film. It's a possibility there may be more. 7.5 out of 10 motorboats making (French) new waves.
