No appointment, no appointment! Important things must always be said three times, because the dream lover that the petty bourgeoisie are looking for and waiting for is always the so-called interesting soul. The contradiction between the middle-class group in the matter of love is like the "Pascal's Bet", which is always entangled in a dilemma of dos and don'ts: the modern life they stand for and strive for is lacking in vitality and fun, and long for passion, but passion happens to be Another stumbling block preventing them from reaching eternal heaven. The discussion about atheism not only made the male protagonist favored by love, but also won him the opportunity to "sleep with love". However, for a conservative skeptic, insisting on "One Night at Maud's" made him firm in the existence of "God". The moral transformation is so graceful and comical that it can't help but question it from off-screen audiences. Rohmer's splendid masterpiece sharply reveals the false nature of religious grace and satirizes those who practice an ascetic lifestyle. In the end, the film, like Eyes Wide Shut, focuses on the relationship between memory and forgetting—the husband and wife are secretive and live in a transparent lie.

On the screen, the women under Rohmer's lens look more attractive, and the subtle interaction between women's intelligence and men's hypocrisy is also more clear, and there is a sense of non-judgment in the sarcasm. In terms of images, the scenes are simple and limited. However, it accurately reproduces the urban space, there are no tricks to win, and at the same time, it can cut out the seemingly plain but well-woven story in the complex reality elements, which is really very advanced.
