1984, Eric Rohmer
There is something occasionally uncanny about this film; a slightly tired element, an element of the sinister in the new town, the public transport (a varying feature across Rohmer’s work), the well lit parties. The use of mirrors as a doubling feature of the framings enhances this impression. There is a slight air of sadness about our (this time female lead). Almost a fatalism about parts of the story.
It rather hinges on the inability of the people to live together. Rohmer paints some of his least attractive characters here. All the same, he involves us with them, and their fates genuinely seem to matter for the run time.
