Movie Review - Triple Agent
Triple Agent (2004)
directed by Eric Rohmer
rating: 3 out of 5 jalapeños
on DVD from Netflix
I rescind my one-time accusation of too much politics in "Triple Agent," as it's now more clearly a dusty front for Rohmer-as-usual. But the absence of youth's romantic uncertainty means an ungainly pessimism in old age. If you believe, as I do, that Rohmer is wonderful precisely because he has never imposed gloomy Fate on his heroes and heroines, then, like me, you'll find yourself a little sad.
