A good movie

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.
