Eric Rohmer's Comedies et Proverbes series:Part 3.
30 July 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Finding my first viewings (also reviewed) of works from auteur Eric Rohmer, (a guy so hip that he never learnt how to drive,or ever hire a taxi,due to being a total hipster!) to be one that was better than expected,and one that was worse than expected,I decided to break the tie with a third movie.

View on the film:

Walking onto the beach,writer/director Éric Rohmer and cinematographer Néstor Almendros soak up the rays,with the burning white sun being joined by fresh,breezy blues and greens. Taking a slightly less restrained side,Rohmer catches the naked women in a delicate manner gripped by the youthful passion being painted on the screen.

After fully embracing the bourgeoisie life in the first two offerings from this loose series,the screenplay by Rohmer distinctively shows some seeds of doubt over the lifestyle,with the untidy strings left between Marion and Pierre allowing Rohmer to wonderfully pull friction between the lines. Swimming in love for the first time,Rohmer gives Pauline's newly discovered liaisons a refreshingly youthful exuberance,as Rohmer sees Pauline at the beach.
