Movie Reviews of My Night at Maud's
Movie Review: For those who like this sort of thing...
Summary: 5 Stars
...this is the sort of thing that we love.
A movie about those odd conversations we have when we dance around desire, not sure whether to give in or get out. Nuanced to the nth degree, taking its script from situations we all probably recognize, it's a meditative film, ultimately, that offers us a view into ourselves and our desires.
But it's a quiet film (not a single car blows up in its whole duration!) so it might not be a good choice for a plurality of American viewers.
That's not meant as faint praise, not at all. I just mean to say that this is a beautiful film to look at (and the Fox Lorber DVD does it good justice) but, thinky as it is, it maintains a low key throughout that might make certain viewers nervous. Those who are ready for a cerebral film chock full of small insights will love it, though. A product of an era in which the idea of personal "comprehension" was interesting and entertaining, "My Night at Maud's" is something of a landmark, one that should be better known.
Summary of My Night at Maud's
The film that made eric rohmer an international name. A man thinks he has finally found his perfect match however ends up accidentally spending the night with a sexy divorcee. Studio: Genius Products Inc Release Date: 06/10/2003 Starring: Jean-louis Trintignant Marie-christine Barrault Run time: 110 minutes Rating: Pg Director: Eric RohmerFrench director Eric Rohmer, former critic and Cahiers du Cinema editor, created a very special romantic film series around the difficult choices men make when they fall in love with two women called "Six Moral Tales." My Night at Maud's was the third entry, and it was so well received in 1969 that it gave Rohmer international prominence. To this day, it remains Rohmer's masterpiece, a brilliantly insightful and sublime meditation on adult indiscretions. Jean-Louis Trintignant plays a chaste engineer who thinks he's met his soul mate in church (Marie-Christine Barrault), yet winds up accidentally spending the night with the seductive Maud (Francoise Fabian), who is more his intellectual equal. Filmed in stark black and white by Nestor Almendros, this is one of those rare films in which questions about philosophy translate into unexpected answers about the heart. It's slow and methodical, but well worth the experience. --Bill Desowitz
