Rendezvous in Paris Reviews

(MU) Last Rohmer´s tale, sad open endings, one of them a great himmage a Paris, with the copuple dating in different parcs and neighborhoods...

Basically, it is once again one of these really osbcure French flicks that almost nobody has seen here on Listal. To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since Eric Rohmer is probably one of the greatest French directors that ever lived, I thought I should check it out. Eventually, I think it was probably a minor effort (after watching 8 movies directed by this guy, I’m pretty sure I’m still not an expert in his work though) but I thought it was still a decent watch. Indeed, instead of having one traditional plot, you get 3 short-stories and the issue with this approach, in my opinion, is that you usually get some half baked tales intead of a fully fledged one. I mean, with a running time of 30 minutes, it is pretty easy to create a mood of mystery around the characters and what they are going through but I tend to think that it is a rather artificial gimmick. Still, I always had a weak spot for this director's laid back directing style and the guy was pretty much a master in creating such simple and yet fascinating little love stories. To conclude, even though it is nothing really mind-blowing, I think it is a decent romantic feature and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in Eric Rohmer’s work.
