Movie Reviews of Boyfriends and Girlfriends
Movie Review: Learn Everything About Dating in One Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is great. The hot girl you like, is completely disinterested in you, while her dorky friend, who you barely notice, pines away dreaming about marrying you. Your best friend, has a nice girlfriend who he treats like crap, and he 2x's her when he lands the girl YOU like. Finally, you realize its the nice girl you should be dating as you get to know her. Eric Roehmer must have gone to my high school! No wait! This is the same story since the beginning of time. Great movie. He left out the part about when you finally meet the right girl, every hot girl you missed out on comes back, or better yet, your girlfriends hot sister, and wants you to cheat on her. Then when you wont, she lies and says you tried to your girlfriend. Ha ha. Biatches are SOOO catty... meeeeooowww. .. thats MY movie. This movie is as real as it gets about relationships.
Summary of Boyfriends and Girlfriends
The title of Eric Rohmer's sixth and final film in his Comedies and Proverbs series, Boyfriends and Girlfriends, makes much more sense in its original French form: L'ami de mon amie (The Friend of My Friend). In this series, each stand-alone film is based on a proverb, in this case, "the friends of my friends are my friends." Thus when conservative 24-year-old Blanche (the beautiful and talented Emmanuelle Chaulet) is befriended by wild-child 22-year-old Lea (the exotic Sophie Renoir), they find themselves each tempted by the love interests of the other. Fabien (Eric Viellard) is Lea's long-term beau, into windsurfing and hiking, which fills Lea with ennui; she'd much rather party all night. Blanche is besotted with Alexandre (Fran?ois-Eric Gendron), a ladies' man who barely acknowledges her existence and who is dating Adrienne (Anne-Laure Meury). But of course, as things always go, Fabien is enamoured with the sporty Blanche, and Alexandre finds Lea irresistible.In typical Rohmer fashion, the film is heavy on dialogue and light on action. By stripping away the veneer--no unusual camera work, no elaborate settings, no pounding soundtrack--Rohmer is able to effectively focus on the empty lives of the modern suburbanites (they all live in a spanking-clean suburb of Paris, Clergy-Pontoise, where the sparseness of the apartments and streets echoes their lives) and his New Wave influences show in the simple theme, the fickle nature of the heart. Yet his characters are immensely likable and their situations comical and ordinary enough for the viewer to relate to. This is an excellent entry into the world of Eric Rohmer for the New Wave neophyte and a refreshing, lighter outing for those who are already fans. --Jenny Brown
