Movie Review - Love In The Afternoon
L'Amour l'après-midi (1972)
directed by Eric Rohmer
rating: 4 out of 5 cravats
on VHS from Black Lodge Video
Long remembered by me as the least consequential of the contes moraux, but I think I'd forgotten the great fantasy sequence at the prologue's conclusion. Like Guido the lion-tamer robbed of his malaise, Frédéric imagines a street corner where each passing beauty succumbs to his smile. All but young Béatrice Romand, free even from dreamers. "You won't talk me into it," she tells him. "He's the only one I love."
