  Whilst this was in some ways quite enjoyable, all that philosophising seemed very out of character for the leading actress's character, who came across to ... read more »

  The mundane made interesting
  
  Rohmer has a knack of creating an interesting and watchable film from simple stories of human relationships. The central character, Felicie, is a rather ... read more »

  Great entertainment
  
  Stylish and gentle, sad and uplifting.
  
  I was sceptical about a coincidence in the story, but wife says of course they happen. (How does she know?)

  I enjoyed this movie. It had a fairly simple plot and is very much your romance about a lady who can't find love. Shot in a very French way gives it a bit ... read more »

  Blasé, Blaise, blast it - why can't we make films like this?
  
  Because the UK doesn't subsidise cinema in the way they do in France.
