This is the second Rohmer's movie i watch. "My Night at Maud's" was a great movie. This is not. I love "talky/ dialogue driven drama movies, but as other reviewers suggested, this lacks the passion, it's too cold and dry. Furthermore, characters are charmless here except for the young girl. They are so charmless and bland that the whole movie gets a bit boring because of them. I mean, i couldn't care for any of them and i didn't mind they were manipulative or spineless. On the contrary, these were real people with flesh and bones. Problem is, you cannot enjoy a movie in which the characters are like boring, non charismatic/ everyday people. I can talk with my neighbors if i want an experience like that. But when i watch a movie, i need something different, not something mundane and uninteresting. It's a movie not a documentary, give me some magic.
6 stars because at times, it was interesting. But overall, this is uneven.
