Vu en VOSTA sur Film4 puis revu en torrent, DVD et sur OK.

My first Rohmer (thanks to a foreign channel).
No matter how shallow those young people and artificial the surroundings are, I can't stop watching it despite hating most events/character behaviours happening on screen and despizing love stories, it's mesmerizing.
The locations take a large part in the film's appeal.

Score: 7/10
Plaisir: [- ∞, + ∞ ]

A friend I had introduced to Rohmer when "discussing" this film:

"Can't you just let this poor girl have a life?? She doesn't do anything wrong.
- But it's so horrible to watch her thinking and doing the things she thinks and does !"

(Still wondering why I love this film.)

================
Rewatching it after long walks through those locations (Cergy's downtown, the Clock station, the charming leisure island of Cergy-Pontoise, the whole (fabulous and fabulously useless) "art work" by Dani Karavan that is the Axe majeur) makes it more pleasant than it already is.

Rohmer has a knack for choosing his films locations (and framing them) !

Another nice thing is seeing the locals and Parisian walking through the scenes (and often staring at the camera).

Anne-Laure Meury, the little known actress who looked like pure fantasy made reality in La femme de l'aviateur, seems "extraordinarily ordinary" here. I'm amazed. (The first time I saw this older Rohmer, I didn't even recognized her, hearing her today as Adrienne gave me a hint.)
