"The Temptation of the Knee"

scenery, ah scenery, this intoxicating scenery, reminds me of a film I watched when I was a teenager---"Alarma ?n delta (1975)"
tone ah tone, this nostalgic tone, I have to face it, this is a product from 1970.
Knees, knees, this girl's weapon, the desire of a diplomat for a girl.

Adult men become obsessed with adolescent girls' bodies, but suppress their impulses under the pressure of reality. The act of stroking the knee has a symbolic meaning, which means that the satisfaction of a man's spiritual sexual fantasy (or lust) is far greater than the sexual infatuation of the physical substance. This seemingly easy-to-obtain action is difficult to do naturally. In the film, it symbolizes the male protagonist's desire to conquer rather than possess. Rohmer has grasped this very well, and analyzes the hesitant mentality of middle-aged men in the face of girls and the complicated thoughts that are difficult to distinguish between reality and reality from this love game.
No apples, just "Claire's Knee".

Claire's Knee quotes

  • Aurora, the novelist: Let me tell you something. Last year I wanted to test my charms on very young boys. The young generation is a complete unknown to me. Incomprehensible. A total mystery. I settled on the number five in one week.

    Jerome: Five!

    Aurora, the novelist: Actually, I had three. Very handsome, all of them.

    Jerome: Did you enjoy it, apart from the glory of conquest?

    Aurora, the novelist: It was very nice. I could have gone on. But since it was a matter of ego, and ego is quickly satisfied, at least, in this area, I prefer to wait. I know how to wait. Waiting is pleasant in and of itself.

  • Aurora, the novelist: She disturbs you? How? Her body?

    Jerome: Yes, the way she looks, since it's all I know about her. We've hardly ever spoken. I find it quite difficult to talk to her.

    Aurora, the novelist: Well, well. She intimidates you.

    Jerome: I feel absolutely powerless around girls like that.
