Aside from the suspect acting and vapid camera work, I find the director's ideas laughable. This is the second film of Rohmer's I've tried to watch, and I won't be coming back.

It was dull, lacked liveliness and offered nothing of interest. "Insipid" would also work.

Supposed to be discreet. Gentle. I don't much like the zooms but he stopped doing them apparently.

Unfortunately, what you found discreet and gentle, I found unoriginal and at times even infantile.

Neutrality doesn't call for originality. I have to see it again, but I was struck by the zooms. Camera work is only a necessity here, not an ornament.

Fair enough, but sadly the camera work wasn't the only issue I had with this film.

This does really well in capturing both the trademark, enticing amorality of the series (which is played out particularly well here) and the trappings of bourgeois life, an element which ends up playing a key part in the overall exploration. Tightly written and on several occasions quite stunning, this is, in my opinion, the best of Rohmer’s Six Moral Tales.

Charming. Although given one's persuasion, you may choose to replace 'charming' with foul language. Rohmer does a cute little bait and switch - several times in fact (there is a brief moment where you wonder if it's a sci-fi film). It's all very playful in a droll way, which by now should be expected from Rohmer. The exquisite editing of Cécile Decugis (Breathless) gives this admittedly simple affair a heartbeat.

Just finished the 6 Moral Tales today. I loved the sequence in this where Frederic imagines seducing women on the street, all played by the actresses from the previous moral tales. It felt like running into old friends.

Personalmente, las peliculas de Eric Rohmer me dan una hueverrima de aquellas (me vale madres que Quentin Tarantino sea un "ferviente" admirador de su obra). Aun asi, puede que haya un par de razones, o´digamos, atracciones subliminales, muy poderosas en el still que me despiertan unas ganas bastante cabronas de ver esta pelicula. Que chingados podra ser...?

This is the first Rohmer film i've seen and I had a pretty good idea that I was going to like it. It thoroughly exceeded my expectations.

"I dream of a life comprised only of first lines and lasting ones." The second time with this Rohmer is a charm for me.
