no religion

I haven't touched Rohmer since college, and now I'm biting the bullet.
I was very tired from work that day, and I was watching in the French Cultural Center, surrounded by all kinds of real and fake intellectuals and international friends.
When the various intellectuals in the film discussed philosophy, I fell into a coma—I have to admit, I still have a hard time getting caught up in high-density dialogue.
As a serious filmmaker, Rohmer is stubborn but has a good sense of humor. He seems eager to pour his own understanding of philosophy and religion into the film, which, in my opinion, is a really good stack. Mulder can be regarded as an active and high-profile leader and party in the film, but to a certain extent, she is also a free and easy bystander, withdrawing from the story and watching the hero's weaving indifferently.
The hero is embarrassed in his own philosophy and religion. A friend said that after waiting for a long time, I just watched the 100th minute. How could he let himself be laughed at for the first 99 minutes of his life at the 100th minute of the film if he didn't have such a face?
In the 100th minute, with the ability of an intellectual to lie, he made a weak resistance to his wife, in order to create a situation of hurting himself to protect himself, and of course, he also maintained the special balance of this embarrassing family. What a wry confrontation. Only intellectuals can produce such high-level humor.
Rohmer's brilliance was born at this moment. He played with his profound philosophical and religious upbringing, and played a problem of human duality with exquisiteness and perfection.

    [Beijing Film Festival Screening] Reunited with old friends for a drink and a long chat with beautiful women in boudoir nights. The beautiful woman is destined to hold the golden thread, and the past events at the seaside are scattered with the wind. Here is a young female college student who fell in love at first sight and is hard to find, and there is a mysterious divorced woman who was deliberately introduced by an old friend. Here is the discussion of topics such as religion, philosophy, and emotional morality, and there is the reality of life. The film will properly deal with this extremely delicate situation and the psychological state of men and women. The bulk of the dialogue is neither tedious nor pretentious. The ending is even better. See through but not say through, life has to live.

    Although I also think it's too unprofessional to talk about 400 hits before the screening, but the thought of being on the same stage with an idiot and watching the whole weekend still feels like shit.

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.
