Movie Review - Le Rayon Vert
Le Rayon Vert (1986)
directed by Eric Rohmer
rating: 5 out of 5 jalapeños
on DVD from the vaults
Maybe it's an empathy for unlikeable people, or maybe a winning over. Or maybe the cards Delphine finds in the street or on the beach, like pirate treasure. Rohmer's places are pedestrian, his conversations plain, but the casual fairy tale, the odd superstition, all accrue. Even the plaintive melody transforms, not in sound but effect. The revelation is magic, and it's allowed to be.
