A very good movie

I’m not sure if Eric Rohmer (who passed away just a couple of years ago) was really well known abroad, but in France, he was always considered a major director. To be honest, I don’t think I’m really an expert in his work but I have still managed to watch a third of all his movies. Anyway, this flick might be my favorite so far. Indeed, basically, it is a rather typical romantic tale, almost a soap opera, but the characters were very well written and actually quite fascinating to behold. It is also a rather typical French feature during which nothing much actually takes place and the whole thing is about some couples talking a lot about themselves, their relationships and life in general. You either love or hate the genre but I always had a weak spot for it and this flick was one of the best I have seen. I also enjoyed a lot the understated directing style by Rhomer which gives a lot of room to the actors to give life to their characters and the absence of additional background music was a nice touch as you have to make up your mind on your own about what you should feel or think. To conclude, I thought it was  a really a good flick and I think it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in French movies.
