Éric Rohmer: Love in the Afternoon

Sink into moral quicksand with us as we discuss the final of Éric Rohmer’s Six Moral Tales: Love In The Afternoon (1972). Wilson contemplates the duality of man from the sidelines as Eli and Ben have a “straight man-off” with wildly different takeaways from the film’s heartstopping moral ending. We also get into the film’s stylistic deviations from Rohmer’s filmography, admire Zouzou’s iconic looks, and Marvel (pun unfortunately intended…) at the film’s narrative momentum and excitement.
