Our take

Shooting on Parisian streets with a 16mm camera and nonprofessional cast, Rohmer continued his series of Moral Tales with this mid-length feature. His later films may possess a greater formal refinement, but a knack for behavioral and psychological complexity was readily apparent from the start.
