This should be pretty complete

There are spoilers, it is recommended to watch the original film for your own aftertaste

I don't know

(Actually said that I wrote too short to publish...

I have to paste my own mark on it, everyone can take a look at it, if you can, answer my two questions, thank you)

Not too much to give ten stars! Ah ah ah, to see such a good movie in my lifetime! "I get it, but I don't quite get it" hahaha Eric Rohmer classics! Classic Talks This is only the third movie I've watched Rohmer, and I don't dare to jump to conclusions, but it seems that these are all "high-energy" at the end of the movie ①The Catholic female college student is the mistress of Maud's ex-husband. I just guessed at this point, but I guessed right haha. But why are the female college students nervous when they face Vital, do they know each other? Does Vital know that the female college student is the mistress of Maud's ex-husband? The film doesn't seem to have any hints... I didn't understand this ② and after the bookstore scene, the two had a dialogue in the snow, and the college student easily said to the male protagonist "I love you" I also don't understand "Christian spirit". It has the same identity with the film, which can be said to be the church of the twentieth century." --Eric Rohmer's Six Moral Stories (3)

    The fourth of "Six Moral Stories" by Eric Rohmer. As always, he talks about philosophy, religion, politics, love, and life, from Pascal to Jansenism. Although the plot is flat and the form is minimalist, the subtle changes in the relationship between the characters and the feelings of rejection and welcome are delicately captured on the film. But personally, I still prefer to watch Rohmer's color films. (8.5/10)

    I like Rohmer, starting from this "One Night with Maud". His casual, simple, almost real-life director characteristics made me forget myself, as if I walked into someone else's house to see how other people live. Since this film began to wonder whether the French are really casual about the relationship between the sexes, decades have passed, and there is still no answer until now. After all, a classic is a classic.

My Night at Maud's quotes

  • Jean-Louis: Women have taught me a lot, morally speaking. That sounds...

    Maud: A little vulgar.

    Jean-Louis: Yes. It would be silly to generalize about particular cases but each girl revealed a new moral problem which I had never faced up to before. It would be good for me to be shaken out of my moral lethargy.

    Maud: You could have ignored the physical aspect for the moral.

    Jean-Louis: Yes, but, the moral aspect would never have arisen if - Well, I know it's never impossible but the physical and moral are inseparable, let's face it.

    Maud: Perhaps it was the trick of the devil?

    Jean-Louis: Then I was caught. Yes, in a way, I was caught.

  • Maud: I am nasty, too.
