"Wouldn't it be stupid to miss someone because of principle?"

"I don't think love is real unless it goes both ways"
"It doesn't matter if I'm a Christian or not"
"After finding the one, if I stop loving her, I'll despise myself"
In the film, her husband raised a Catholic mistress. Catholics can also keep mistresses, and can also be mistresses. Religion is weak in solving this problem.
Whether he wants it or not, the woman gets irritated and says "I like people who know what they want", meaning his goal is not clear.
At 68 minutes and 55 seconds, the heroine has long hair and a temperament much like Gong Li in "Memoirs of a Geisha", very beautiful.
"Wouldn't it be foolish to miss someone because of principle?"
"Women always make me morally better."
He wanted a Catholic woman, but she wasn't.
Driving in the dark, village street lights, very similar to my hometown. It was a silent feeling, the sound of the motor, the weeds illuminated by the headlights.
"Gifts have nothing to do with material success"
"Christianity is not a dogma, it's a way of life."
"You can't forget someone you really loved".
Men and women say to each other that they love other people.
Then they both got married.
It's a boring movie, but it's the same as "Evil in the East and Poison in the West". Marriage and love are often two different things, in amorous people who want to get to the bottom of it.

    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.

    This is like the question of how many horizontal lines are in the middle of "straight" a few days ago. I always thought it was three horizontal lines, but one day it was suddenly announced that there were two horizontal lines on the dictionary. It's just an illusion, so how do we face ourselves and this reality? At that time, in the castle he had built in the past, he still controlled himself when facing Maud. Did Louis act according to his deepest intuition, or did he trust moral standards? If he followed his intuition deep in his heart, then the restraint of Maud's lust at that time was not from his heart. If he followed his own beliefs, then what should he do now? When we self-righteously choose a "correct" belief, but one day, what you experience is actually contrary to what you think is correct. At this time, how should we face ourselves and face life?

My Night at Maud's quotes

  • Maud: I'm very hard to please when it comes to men.

  • Françoise: At the moment I'm a bit lonely, but that's just due to the circumstances.
