Out of 100, I gave it 76. That's good for **½ out of ****. Seen at home, in Toronto, on November 26th, 2004.
Unlike other French New Waves directors, who vernally succeed. Rohmer dug his bravura technique at the late year, and also inherited the mature, non-jocular, less-mechanical (or too dry to be mechanical) style.
He tried using these 5 individuals with the most simple, direct, lucid cinematography, which included minimalism settings capered with his iconic use of color, and no fancy editing which made the picture quite bland, deconstruct the story of love.
The color is beguiling, the Emmanuelle Chaulet is simply divine. The pace is slow, but the romance is overt. I'm just not such deep in love as the film did, need to be rewatched when people fall in Descarts' unrequited love.
The film begins with Blanche and Lea meeting for the first time. They soon become friends and begin spending their lunch hours together. Lea is the more vivacious of the two and she has a boyfriend, Fabien. As for Blanche, who is more the subject of this film, she's rather lonely and has no love life. But, over time, as Lea and Fabien become more and more distant, Blanche finds herself attracted to Fabien. Lea couldn't care less--as she is now falling for Alexandre--a man Blanche had been interested in dating. What's next? See the film.
As I mentioned above, this is a talky and rather slow film--at least for a while. However, the film all comes together very, very well-- and the ending is simply smashing. Well worth seeing.
When we pick up an Eric Rhomer's film, we are pretty sure how it is gonna be in terms of narration. Having said that, this one depicts the relationship crisis, love and how feelings keeps changing over the time through the four leads who gave very convincing and natural performances. It is slow but grows on you towards the end and gonna put a smile on your face. I liked Blanche's character, which is relatable to introverts and the rest who can't express their inner feelings to a person whom they admire/love as we just get stuck/freeze while we try to strike a conversation with the person we adore and does some random stuff is definitely crazy yet devastating feeling at the same moment. Here the leads have their own take on relations , as they come in and get out of it due to ambiguity but eventually they get what they yearned. Conversations between Blanche and Fabien has more impact than the rest of the movie. A good flick, liked it !!!

- Zitate
Alexandre: If you must know, I like slender, rather tall girls.
Lea: Blondes or brunettes?
Alexandre: Brunettes. With smooth, light, slightly tanned skin. They really attract me. Especially when they have big eyes and silky lashes.
Lea: Cut it out. You promised not to lay it on!
Alexandre: I'm not laying it on! You asked what my type was! You're much closer than Adrienne to my ideal. You've always attracted me. But fate was against it.
Lea: Fate! You control yours, don't be modest!
Alexandre: You're wrong! I don't like to push. I'm no Romeo. The fact is, girls like me! It's given me bad habits. It can be a disadvantage. They seek me out, so I just relax. Means I don't always wind up with the best. If I like a girl, I'll meet her sooner or later... Better later then too soon. Take us... I'm glad I met you now, not 6 months ago. We're both available...
Lea: Stop it! What's available mean? And I don't like your kind of guy. I like to be wooed!
Alexandre: You were with Fabien!
Lea: You should have been insanely jealous.
Alexandre: Who says I wasn't?
Lea: Actions talk! You should've done something wild!
Alexandre: Let's run away. I'll kidnap you!
Lea: That's not so wild. And I said no!
Alexandre: I heard yes.
Lea: It meant no.
Alexandre: I'll think of something wilder... Come live with me! You've even got your bags! My place's too big for me alone.
Lea: When you're alone!
Alexandre: I'm alone now.
Lea: I'm going to my folks'. They're expecting me.
Alexandre: Call them back!
Lea: They're asleep.
Alexandre: So they're not waiting up!
Lea: I might move in with you, but not now. We've known each other 6 months, so wait 6 more months. During that period, you mustn't date anyone else. Then maybe I'll let myself be wooed!
Alexandre: I accept. But you mustn't date anyone, either.
Lea: That suits me fine!
Alexandre: 6 months is a bit long. How about 6 days?
