Béatrice Romand, an engaging teenager in Eric Rohmer's series of Six Moral Tales (in Claire's Knee, to be exact), has grown up to be an engaging young woman in his ensuing series: Comedies and Proverbs. Which is not to say that the character she plays isn't a typical Rohmer fathead, an articulate and highly principled fathead, bien sûr, but a fathead all the same. The chief manifestation of this fatheadedness is the decision taken to get married, and the forthright announcement of this as a fait accompli, before she has any actual prospects. Given the archness and artificiality of the basic conception, on a scale with that of an old Carole Lombard comedy, it is worked out with a good amount of integrity and insight. And yes, that typical Rohmer drollery, too. With André Dussollier. (1982) — Duncan Shepherd
