Our take

Rohmer’s interest in the intricacies of romance has never been a secret. The concluding entry in his beloved Comedies and Proverbs series, this playfully capricious four-sided love entanglement channels the volatile nature of human feelings with effortless irony. What a slippery thing love is!
