This, the sixth in Eric Rohmer's series of "Comedies and Proverbs," continues to minister to the Rohmer faithful and does nothing to attract new converts. A sense of déjà vu will start to materialize almost immediately. Everyone is young, slim, attractive, wears bright colors, and talks prosaically and incessantly. Everything is civilized, passionless, dry, stiff, contrived, clever, and tidy. And away we go again, toward that fundamental and inexhaustible verity that people simply don't understand themselves as well as Eric Rohmer understands them. Rohmer's sheer persistence in his chosen line of pursuit will seem the more or the less laudable depending on how laudable the pursuit seemed to you the first time. And only the loudest of the original lauders will have felt motivated to keep their lauding volume steady. With Emmanuelle Chaulet. (1988) — Duncan Shepherd
