The brief description for this film was, " the film consists of three loosely connected episodes revolving around chance meetings in Paris," this was not a selling point for me. As a film critic whose name escapes me once wrote. "Love stories are easy to make, it's just two people saying a lot of dumb things to each other.
However in this case I shouldn't have been worried. The writer/director is Eric Rohmer and if there is anyone who knows how to write love stories about young French people it's Rohmer.
The film consists of three separate stories. In the first story a student figures out that her boyfriend is cheating on her. In the second story, a couple meet and talk about their relationship while wandering around a lot of beautiful parks. Sort of a mini tour of Paris. The third story is about an artist trying to pick up a woman at a museum who apparently was just recently married.
As with many of Rohmer's films the women are young, beautiful and smart. Their boyfriends are all for the most part kind of clueless and stupid.
A very enjoyable and civilized film from a master filmmaker.
The running time is 94 minutes.
