s r A French film that teases us all the way to the end. I appreciated it for its poetic approach to life and attempt to portray modern relationships. Made me want to go to the Riviera. Saw on TCM. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Rohmer had a deliberate narrative style that postponed or sidestepped events that a conventional director would have supplied right on schedule. Yes, there is some tedium and some bothersome issues in the rather languorous pace of the action, the voice over, and in the opinion of himself Adrian has. But the overall effect resonates in the tension that clearly is there between characters. And Haydée Politoff is just great as the object of both annoyance and desire. 3.7 stars Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member The third film in Eric Rohmer's "Moral Tales" series is not as enthralling as his later films in the series. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member It's classic Eric Rohmer, with a kind of sexual tension that is not gratuitous but reveals deeper movements in the souls of the characters. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Superbly shot and perfectly told/narrated through dialogues, inner monologue and its scenes Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member An exploration of the complicated, convoluted narratives that we throw over straightforward events. Nobody seems entirely sure exactly what it is that they're doing. They chase ideas, but their ideas are ultimately unsatisfactory, or unattainable. No character comes out of it especially well, but Haydée, perhaps, is the one who has the right amount of humorous detachment from it all. Many beautiful lines in a film that ultimately shows how beautiful phrases and ideas don't get you so very far. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
