Love in the Afternoon

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.

    Why "vapid"?

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

    I heard the next Pixar film is going to be FULL of liveliness.

    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.
