This is one of the most approachable films I think. Although the whole film is still full of large dialogues, I actually listened to most of the dialogues. The story is beautifully shot, but I don't really like Rohmer's discussion of morality. The bystander-style moral discussion between the male protagonist and his writer friends is very subjective, and he always wants to use some kind of "come-over style" to override some sincere feelings. In contrast, Laura is sincere, Claire is pure, and the hero and his friends have a certain adult sophistication and self-righteousness. It's not so much Lolita's love as it is a criticism of adults.
