Love in the Afternoon

1972, Movie, 1h 37min

Though happily married to the adoring Hélène and expecting a second child with her, the thoroughly bourgeois executive Frédéric cannot banish from his mind the attractive Paris women he sees every day. His flirtations and fantasies remain harmless until the appearance at his office of Chloé, an audacious, unencumbered old flame played by the mesmerizing Zouzou. LOVE IN THE AFTERNOON, the luminous final chapter in Eric Rohmer’s Six Moral Tales, is a tender, sobering, and wholly adult affair that leads to perhaps the most overwhelmingly emotional moment in the entire series.

Rohmer saved the best for last. The plot in the last of his six Moral Tales is simple but because the film is so exquisitely written and directed it approaches perfection.
