1976, Eric Rohmer
This quick paced narrative again uses off-screen dialogue and isolated framings. It is structured around a central mystery, which certainly gets one engaged. There are, when necessary, a few memory, if deliberately not too overbearing or striking shots.
Rohmer is able to tease out something beyond the kneejerk reaction to a situation; again, the audience thinks. This is cinema of quality, but the undercurrents and intentions are far from intended to pacify. It reminds one of a slightly more relaxed Kammerspiel; with a touch of alienation; asking one to go back over one’s own life. Rohmer does not deal in huge works, but ones that examine what they do with such skill as to implicitly effect everything else.
