Audience Member Just kinda whatever. First half is pretty good though. Only Rohmer I've seen that isn't dope. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member El signo del leon [1959] Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member pas mauvais ; ) un paresseux hors-pair crois qu'il a hérité de sa vieille tante mais ca se déroule pas comme il esperait hehe . J'aime bien les passages où on le voit déambuler dans les rues de paris , le corps lourd et desabusé il est écoeuré de tout . Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member This was my first Rohmer film. I'm well informed it's very different from his later trademark style, but it's definitely won me over and interested me in seeing more of his work. It has the same mood of two of my favorite films, Malle's Le Feu follet and Antonioni's Il Grido. The use of music was really fascinating and the unforgettable cameo by Godard was priceless. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Thanks to the dvds shop in Sect 14, i found this Eric Rohmer classic.. Dahsyat jugak! (transl : Not Bad at all!!) French new wave director's very first release and it captured the gritty & cruel side of Paris of the late 50s.. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member just a french classic one Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
