Dir: Éric Rohmer
1984
***
I didn't find Les Nuits de la pleine lune satisfying initially but second half and it's conclusion made it well worth the watch. I enjoyed seeing Paris and its suburbs circa 84', I actually first visited Paris in 84 and remember it fondly. There were plenty of reminders here to get me all nostalgic, which helped a lot as this isn't the most entertaining of Éric Rohmer's films. The fact that I couldn't stand the main character Louise probably didn't help but, without wanting to spoil it for anyone, what happens to her eventually made me smile. Proverb executed perfectly, which is arguably what Rohmer did best.
