My Night with Maud (Rohmer, 1969): BFI Southbank, NFT1, 6.15pm
This film, also screening on December 14th, is part of the cinema's Big Screen Classics season. You can find details of the season here.
Chicago Reader review:
Eric Rohmer's droll and delicate comedy of language
(1969), about a devout Catholic (Jean-Louis Trintignant) who delivers an
all-night monologue on the philosophy of Pascal to escape being seduced
by the lovely atheist Maud (Francoise Fabian). Number three in Rohmer's
series of “Six Moral Tales,” it is probably the most pure: the plotline
transpires entirely in the central character's mind and is never
explicitly acknowledged by Rohmer's direction, which concentrates
instead on the elaborate gambits of a style of speech meant to do
anything but communicate.
