A title and a film to cherish. The fifth in Rohmer’s series of six Moral Tales, Claire’s Knee covers a month of full summer at Lake Annecy in the French Alps. Away from his rather severe-looking fiancée, a 35 year-old diplomat (Jean-Claude Brialy) encounters a female Romanian novelist friend (played by the writer herself, Aurora Cornu), who encourages him to flirt with an amiable teenage girl... read more

(MU) I prefer other and later Rohmer's. This one has better landscpaes (Annecy and its lake) but not better characters and rythm. Brialy its very sefl repressed....
View all Claire's Knee reviews
Part of Eric Rohmer's "Six Moral Tales" series, this French film tells the story of Jerome (Jean-Claude Brialy), a cultural attaché enjoying his last holiday before getting married, and his peculiar fetish with a teenage girl. Jerome grows obsessed with Claire but fights his urges by permitting himself the singular pleasure of touching her knee. Rohmer likes his erotica spiced with talky foreplay, and Claire's Knee is no exception.

"1.1. 2023 Jérôme who is engaged to his long-term partner becomes obsessed with two teenage girls, Laura and Claire, when he minds his friend's country estate. Laura and Claire both have boyfriends but this kind of an irrelevant fact doesn't prevent Jérôme from flirting with them. The main character is a narcissist who likes to play games with people which is easy in his position. For him, women are just tools used to reach his personal goals but he is not totally obvious character either."

" Since I had never seen an Eric Rohmer film before, I decided to watch this because I'm a pretentious pseudo intellectual. What I got in return was a psychological abortion. Jean-Claude Brialy plays the most amazing middle aged pervert weirdo of a man I've ever seen. He is a short and skinny little homme with a beard larger than him, but we are supposed to believe he is a playa who has fucked many hoes. He continually tries to bang teen girls throughout the film, and it is embarassingly crin"
