A middle-class man with a good family and career, lives carefree in the bustling city of Paris. Slowly getting tired of the boring time in the afternoon, spending it by shopping and admiring the passing beauties. Passing by one by one means nothing to him. They were all beautiful, part of their wife's beauty and even enriched her beauty. With this kind of luck, he had a daydream that he had a pendant that could emit sensual fluids, and he could successfully strike up a conversation with...

Why "afternoon" and not other times of the day
This is a serious proposition. Our people all know that the wind, the clear moon, and the bright moon are the time when the two are in love with each other, and Hou's title is "afternoon", which is indeed beautiful.
In the noon, when the flames are high in the day, it means that the strength of love and the tenacity of marriage have reached their peaks, and the principle of success in the month will inevitably lead to losses. The period of laziness and...

In the Republic, Plato divides the soul into three forms/parts of desire, passion and reason. Reason controls thoughts and actions, passion controls rational emotions, and desire controls the physiological instinct to seek pleasure and avoid suffering. But he also said that all three can be understood from the perspective of desire. "Desire in the broad sense is that each of the three parts of the soul has." Rational desire is the pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty...

I have only watched 7 movies in the past month, and I can recommend even less, only this one, "Afternoon Love"; I have also watched a lot of Rohmer's movies, and so far, this is the only one I have empathized with. department.
Last month's movie viewing also included Eastwood's "The Outlaw Josey Wales". The old man is admirable as an actor, and has...

Discussion: What are the different outcomes of the competition between love, desire and morality?
The plot design of "Afternoon Love" is too sharp.
There are three naked women in the play, the wife who came on stage, the nanny who rushed out of the bathroom, and Chloe who was lying on the bed. A wife is someone who loves and lives together, a nanny is a person who only shows the flesh, and Chloe is someone who loves and attracts each other outside of morality. Contradictions arise from this: the contradiction between desire and morality, the...

The last one. Like Claire's Knee, the one-night female collector at Maud's, it tells the story of a middle-aged man who oscillates between morality and lust. The weakening of the sense of film and the natural display of the taste of life are undoubtedly the characteristics of Rohmer and what I love most about him. This film is still the same. So far, the six moral stories series have finished the favorite Claire's...

A/Middle age-marriage-afternoon, life-love-natural wonderful connection. I have always been disgusted with the summary of the laws of gender in love, so I prefer to use it as a careful discussion of the boundaries of love. The tentacles stretched out and retreated because of desire, and marriage became the seemingly intact shell behind it. Simple but rich shots, precise and powerful lines, and psychological tension of plain depiction. BTW middle class is still a term that confuses me...

In the afternoon, I was in a state of fullness and warmth, as if my love for my wife could not get any closer (pregnancy symbolizes a new obstacle for husband and wife), so I thought of lust. From the beginning of the prelude, you can pay attention to the objects that are highlighted at the moment of "clothes": buying clothes to reflect the character of the male protagonist; fantasizing about dating women with different clothes; both the nanny and Chloe have taken off their clothes; clothes of...

A married man with a happy family, but boring afternoons always make him want to. The ex-girlfriend of an old friend came to the door, so his afternoon became colorful. He believed he loved his wife dearly, and he believed he could resist temptation. You must think he ended up cheating, but Rohmer let him escape. But, as Chloe says, her seduction might make other women enjoy the fruits—who...

One of six moral stories. The problem that both men and women encounter, the so-called morality, is something that comes out of fullness, warmth, and lust. This series says that the middle class wants to be both a bitch and a...

Fabienne, Martine: Chloé called.
Frédéric: Really?
-
Mme. M.: Your wife is terrific too. She's great. You're really lucky. Don't go cheating on her now.
Frédéric: Don't worry. I don't intend to.
Mme. M.: I wouldn't bet on it. Not the way you look at girls.
Frédéric: What girls?
Mme. M.: All the girls. In bars, in the street, you're secretaries. I've seen the little smiles.

Frédéric: Milena had me in a blindfold. I was her slave. But now I trust Hélène and she trusts me. We allow each other to look around. I needn't account for every thought, word or deed. And she needn't either.
Mme. M.: I think you're keeping your exits open. Not for right now, but even the prettiest woman gets boring.
