"One Night at the Mude Family" Viewing Experience

Just like peeping into the daily life of several French people, French people living in the clouds, Rohmer is not fooling me. In a simple form, you can pay more attention to some subtle fun. Without the help of the camera language and soundtrack, the feeling of watching the movie is more interesting.

"One Night at Maud's House" made me feel relaxed and full of interest. This movie is more suitable for watching at home. Many dialogues take time to ponder, and my lack of understanding of Pascal made it difficult for me to integrate into the topic, which also led me to enter Maud's house. For the past twenty minutes, I was so sleepy that I doubted my life. Although, I can still detect the subtle flow of the atmosphere between the three, the change of the male protagonist's attitude towards Mo De before and after, the male protagonist facing the difference between Mo De and the girl he likes, the moral dilemma of the man only appears before confirming the relationship, Rohmer knows too much about people. Although speaking of Woody Allen-style chatterboxes makes it easier for me to have a sense of identity, I prefer Rohmer-style chatter. It is easy to make people feel uncomfortable and happy in self-struggle. His rank is so high that you can't feel it. The smugness and self-righteousness pouring out from behind the camera.

As for the moral dilemma, what cannot be resolved is, of course, choosing to forget it.

My Night at Maud's quotes

  • Maud: You do shock me.

    Jean-Louis: So you've said.

    Maud: You're the most outrageous person I've met. Religion has always left me cold. I'm neither for nor against it. But people like you prevent me from taking it seriously. All that really concerns you is your respectability. Staying in a woman's room after midnight is dreadful. It would never occur to you to stay because I'm lonely. To establish a slightly less conventional relationship even if we should never meet again. This I find stupid - very stupid and not very Christian.

    Jean-Louis: It's nothing to do with religion. I just thought you might be tired.

    Maud: Do you still think so?

  • Maud: What I don't like about you is that you always dodge the issue. You don't face up to things. A shamefaced Christian combined with a shamefaced Don Juan.
