    "No, I'm very happy, you can't know how happy I am that you are here, but I must be acting silly." "It's me who is cold, and I can't love someone who's always snooping on my mind and I'm all too familiar with. People." "The diversity of people's lives soothes me." "Life is ugly, and people live the same ugly lives." Rohmer is amazing... It's like a thin needle piercing your most sensitive...

    8.75/10 The reason for not getting 5 stars and 9 points: Crisis is an abuse theme, the language is not better than the previous ones, the heroine is really ugly, and she shows black...

    "A new philosophy of marriage, the choice between marriage and adventure, ambiguous morality." Many people say that Hong Shangxiu is like Rohmer, discussing the moral dilemma of some middle-aged men in marriage. In this respect, Hong is more like an Oriental, while Rohmer is more serious and restrained. Woody Allen showed a typical American style. (turtleneck like Despicable...

    The hypocritical middle class, on the one hand, they want to enjoy the fresh love between men and women, and on the other hand, they want to maintain a harmonious family life. In the end, I can only go home with my lover's lust and resolve it with my wife. It's just like wanting to be a bitch and building a torii. . The wonderful thing is that the problem is not just with husbands, but with wives as well. The ending was a slap in the face. Rohmer's moral story is too...

    I finally paid attention to the literary nature of Rohmer's films - sketches generally count where they say, not idle writing, not consistent with aftertaste, not only between chapters, but also can stop abruptly between paragraphs. For example, in the prologue, with the hero's confession, when it comes to where the film is taken, the mirror turns with the words, each of which is irrelevant, short and dense, and there are no fancy transitions. A man who is not indulged in sensuality but is...

    The last part of the moral story series is a smooth and refreshing middle-aged psychological anxiety story back in Paris. The literary sense of the large monologue in the first half and the overall film language are excellent. One side is the shackles of marriage, and the other side is the nothingness behind freedom. One has to admire Rohmer's character design, so people are displaced in this cycle of eternal displacement (think Bergman's "Marriage Life" last episode), "happy...

    Rohmer's final morality tale, which discusses the middle-class midlife marital crisis, ends with a subtle hint of laughter; a delightful macaron hue toned down the seriousness, following the camera through the streets of 1970s Paris , the clothes that go out on the street are not out of date now; a story of immorality in which a fantasy spiritual derailment was almost put into the flesh, but fortunately, at the last moment, the cliff was reined in. It seems that everything is still within the...

    I'm not in a hurry to complete Rohmer anymore, I just watch one when I have nothing to do, but I am happy and relaxed. I thought of someone who said that in Rohmer's director's notes, the colors of the actors' clothes were very thoughtful. This is especially evident in this film. Every outfit looks great, and the color of the CC repair is also great....

    I like a little restraint in men and a little debauchery in...

    The final chapter of the series of moral stories: When people reach middle age, it is inevitable that they will have a crisis. It is no longer a problem of red roses and white roses. This problem is like the male protagonist's high-necked tight-fitting cashmere, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple roses. "Women are like clothes", Rohmer showed this sentence so...

Love in the Afternoon quotes

  • Frédéric: I think some element of mystery is essential for people who live together.

  • Chloé: You make me laugh. You really do. Why this insistence on proving you love your wife? If you don't love her, or less than at first, it's not a catastrophe. It's normal. It's normal not to want to always be tied to the same person. Marriage makes less and less sense these days.

    Frédéric: I don't love her because she's my wife. I love her because of who she is. I'd love her even if we weren't married.

    Chloé: No. You love her - if you really do - because you're supposed to. I couldn't stand being loved like that. But then I'm an exception. I won't accept compromises.
