In fact, though the movie's themes could at some level be placed alongside some of Bergman's works, this was still such a lighthearted fare to watch. A terrific exploration of moral dilemma too. And yes, the B/W cinematography too was quite stunning, as you've mentioned. Thanks a lot Sam for sharing your love for this Rohmer masterwork.Shubhajithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040495040897333606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-25396899687417455042012-03-19T08:48:36.630+05:302012-03-19T08:48:36.630+05:30One of the most celebrated of Rohmer's films, ...One of the most celebrated of Rohmer's films, and one that is often mentioned as a personal favorite by admirers of the director. Yes, religion, mortality, and marriage are prodominant themes, and Trintignant is morally torn. Agree too that the discourse scene is the film's best, though it works throughout. Nestor Almendros's black and white cinematography is exquisite and teh film won the 1969 Palme d'Or at Cannes.<br /><br />Another exceptional capsule here.Sam Julianonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-70110218197741437682012-03-13T09:58:38.006+05:302012-03-13T09:58:38.006+05:30Thanks Jon for the recommendation.

Given that it ranks as the favourite for so many, I'm already highly interested in watching the film soon.Shubhajithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040495040897333606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-13602206828388774632012-03-13T07:10:00.552+05:302012-03-13T07:10:00.552+05:30Hi Shubhajit, It's been sometimes since I'...Hi Shubhajit, It's been sometimes since I've seen this one. I need to have a refresh on Rohmer. Many of his films it's been about 10 years since I've seen as that was the last time I went through them. Not sure if you've seen it, but my favorite Rohmer is Le Rayon Verte. It's quite something.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10656287096270976604noreply@blogger.com
