Movie Reviews of Full Moon in Paris
Movie Review: delightful and wise
Summary: 5 Stars
The gorgeous and adorable Pascale Ogier, whose talent is very much apparent in this "gurls just wanna have fu-un" tale from the master of subtlety and charm in film, Eric Rohmer -- Mozart beat him to it in music by a couple of centuries -- unfortunately died of an apparent heart attack within a year of the film's release, depriving fans of a rare opportunity to see talent grow. What a pity!
Louise (Ogier) lives with muscle-boy Remy in the 'burbs of Paris but also has a place of her own in Paris where she can see friends and have a good time on her own. The writer Octave is one of those friends. Louise likes to hang out with Octave (he's married) but isn't attracted to brainy-nerdy types who talk and analyze a lot. She goes for ... biker dudes who play in a rock band and treat women like, well, you know. After a one night stand with one of these bad boys, she realizes Remy is her one true love and tells him she is ready to settle down with him, at last. Alas, "trop tard" -- too late. But the girl has spunk. She picks herself up and off she goes on her own to new adventures, maybe having learned a lesson or two.
Summary of Full Moon in Paris
Louise (Pascale Ogier), a restless designer bored with sleepy suburban life outside of Paris, lives with her lover, Remy (Tcheky Karyo), a stable architect happy with a calm home life and a long-term relationship. The independent Louise decides to move back into her old Paris apartment during the week, losing herself in the bustle of dinner parties and nightclubs and single men, while spending her weekends back with Remy. Louise becomes briefly entangled with another man, a spontaneous musician who is the opposite of Remy, but in a neat twist on the formula, Remy himself drifts to another--at the suggestion of Louise herself. The fourth of Rohmer's Comedies and Proverbs is the most ironic and, in many ways, the most judgmental of his films. Willowy Ogier's kittenish sexuality and zest for life are wrapped in a self-absorbed determination that borders on indifference, but for the most part this is another wryly witty look at modern love from the master of the sophisticated romantic comedy. Fabrice Luchini plays Louise's best friend and conniving confidante, Octave, and Laszlo Szabo appears as a caf? patron who pontificates on the magical effects of the full moon. Ogier, who died shortly after the film's release, designed many of the handsome sets. Rohmer followed this with perhaps his most generous character study, the modestly magical romantic adventure Summer. --Sean AxmakerArt House & International DVD Video
