Éric Rohmer: Boyfriends and Girlfriends

Another Rohmer film, another incredible ending. We end our series on Rohmer with Ben’s second Deep Cut pick and favorite Rohmer film, the effortlessly loveable and relatable Boyfriends and Girlfriends (1987). Listen to us swoon as we recollect our favorite moments from this classic romantic tale. Wilson celebrates the film’s reverence for young people in love, Eli dives deep to find undercurrent themes in Rohmer’s anthropology of young professionals in France in the 80s, and Ben makes a case for ~vibey~ directors.

Do you, like us, think there should be a queer reimagining of this? Who should direct it? Let us know in our discord server!
