Weekend afternoons are best to see Rohmer

I especially like the French image in Rohmer's films: 1. Attend a friend's friend's party, maybe you don't know a few people at all, but you may gain a new friend by chatting about philosophy, film, literature, and painting; 2. Every now and then Leaving work and going on vacation, lying in the woods by the lake blowing the wind, picking a wild strawberry to eat, and having sex with an ambiguous person; 3. Although the emotional entanglement is complicated, there will be no ugly scenes of intrigue between the original partner and the whole team. , A woman is very considerate and cherishes each other, and many times a look or a conversation will eliminate the grievances.

Such romantic casualness can't help but make people fall in love.

Watching Rohmer's films, I often have the urge to rush out of the house and jump into nature, and the green trees and rivers that I usually see are especially fresh and lovely. So I say that Rohmer is the most suitable for watching on weekends, maybe after reading it, I will be motivated to get out of bed and go out, have a picnic, and breathe fresh air. (The time I wrote this short review was Thursday, when I was sitting at my desk, my neck was sore and my butt was sore, and I wanted to go out for a walk.)

Another: The use of colors in this film is bold and harmonious, especially in the outfits of several protagonists. The fabrics, tailoring and colors complement each other. The whole film looks like you are enjoying a LEMAIRE fashion show, ironing and comfortable.

The soft nature of knitting and the silhouette of the suit collide to create a very interesting spark. What is interesting is that the personalities of the two heroines and the coats they wear are exactly the opposite.

Some people in the barrage said that they didn't understand what this color is good for, and it felt no different from those made by many Chinese people. I have little knowledge, so far I haven't seen a film with a tone similar to that of Rohmer on the Chinese screen. The color aesthetics of China and France are not the same system.

Boyfriends and Girlfriends quotes

  • Alexandre: If you must know, I like slender, rather tall girls.

    Lea: Blondes or brunettes?

    Alexandre: Brunettes. With smooth, light, slightly tanned skin. They really attract me. Especially when they have big eyes and silky lashes.

    Lea: Cut it out. You promised not to lay it on!

    Alexandre: I'm not laying it on! You asked what my type was! You're much closer than Adrienne to my ideal. You've always attracted me. But fate was against it.

    Lea: Fate! You control yours, don't be modest!

    Alexandre: You're wrong! I don't like to push. I'm no Romeo. The fact is, girls like me! It's given me bad habits. It can be a disadvantage. They seek me out, so I just relax. Means I don't always wind up with the best. If I like a girl, I'll meet her sooner or later... Better later then too soon. Take us... I'm glad I met you now, not 6 months ago. We're both available...

    Lea: Stop it! What's available mean? And I don't like your kind of guy. I like to be wooed!

    Alexandre: You were with Fabien!

    Lea: You should have been insanely jealous.

    Alexandre: Who says I wasn't?

    Lea: Actions talk! You should've done something wild!

    Alexandre: Let's run away. I'll kidnap you!

    Lea: That's not so wild. And I said no!

    Alexandre: I heard yes.

    Lea: It meant no.

    Alexandre: I'll think of something wilder... Come live with me! You've even got your bags! My place's too big for me alone.

    Lea: When you're alone!

    Alexandre: I'm alone now.

    Lea: I'm going to my folks'. They're expecting me.

    Alexandre: Call them back!

    Lea: They're asleep.

    Alexandre: So they're not waiting up!

    Lea: I might move in with you, but not now. We've known each other 6 months, so wait 6 more months. During that period, you mustn't date anyone else. Then maybe I'll let myself be wooed!

    Alexandre: I accept. But you mustn't date anyone, either.

    Lea: That suits me fine!

    Alexandre: 6 months is a bit long. How about 6 days?

  • Adrienne: It's funny, I can't see you a bureaucrat. That's what you are though. You should be in the arts. You never wanted to paint, or write?

    Blanche: I've no talent. Even if I did... I'm not sure I'd want to do it for a living. Art for me is pure pleasure. Contemplating... it is enough.

    Adrienne: I can understand that. It's just that... In your office, they're all bureaucrats, Real ones! It's a bad environment. All they think about is rank... climbing the ladder... spending their lives... stepping over people. They don't even think about work... much less love! I know what I'm talking about!
