Full Moon in Paris (Rohmer, 1984): Prince Charles Cinema, 3.25pm
This film, which also screens on August 27th, is part of the Eric Rohmer season at the Prince Charles Cinema. Full details here.
Chicago Reader review:
Eric
Rohmer's shift from a subjective to an objective viewpoint for his
“Comedies and Proverbs” series brought with it a gradual
darkening of tone: his characters no longer live in a world colored
by their personal attitudes and expectations, but are trapped in a
universe that blankly refuses to take their desires into
account. Full Moon in Paris (1984), the fourth in
the series, is bleaker than any of its predecessors: the heroine
(Pascale Ogier) lives with a lover in the suburbs of Paris, but takes
a small apartment in town as a way of asserting her freedom. But no
one is truly free in the network of relationships Rohmer sketches
around her, and by asserting her independence she upsets the delicate
equilibrium that has provided her with a measure of happiness. With
Fabrice Luchine (Rohmer's Perceval), Tcheky Karyo, and Christian
Vadim.
