The Aviator's Wife (Rohmer, 1981): Prince Charles Cinema, 12.20pm
This film is part of the Eric Rohmer season at the Prince Charles Cinema. Details here.
Chicago Reader review:
A perfect film. Eric Rohmer
began his series titled "Comedies and Proverbs" with this
1981 tale of romantic entanglements, disappointments, and ever fresh
possibilities, all set in a verdant Paris. Shot in 16-millimeter, the
film has a simple, open visual style, yet its construction is
extremely complex and pointed, as Rohmer abandons the first-person
perspective of the "Six Moral Tales" in favor of an
elegant, intertwining pattern of shifting points of view. The title
character never appears but instead precipitates a chain of events
that pull a young postal worker (Philippe Marlaud), his older
girlfriend (Marie Riviere), and a teenage gamine (Anne-Laure Meury)
together and apart. Charming, languorous, piercing,
discreet—quintessential Rohmer, and more.
