MA NUIT CHEZ MAUD/My Night at Maud's

Year: 1969
Run Time: 110 mins


After spending several years abroad, Jean-Louis, an engineer, longs for some
peace and quiet. Every sunday at church, he notices a young blonde woman he
fancies and decides that she will become his wife. Then, while at a local restaurant,
he meets Vidal, an old school friend, now a philosophy professor at Clermont-Ferrand University. Vidal invites him to spend Christmas Eve a Maud's house. A doctor and
divorcee, the dark-haired Maud, a beautiful, fascinating and single woman, is not
impervious to Jean-Louis' charms.

ERIC ROHMER
Rohmer came to filmmaking relatively late. He was a teacher, journalist and writer
(of fiction as well as cinema theory and criticism) before making his first short in
1950, and commercial success came 17 yrs later.

It is hard to separate the word, spoken and written, from Rohmer's work. If he is
known for one thing, it is the fact that in his films, people talk.
Personal information about Rohmer is hard to find.He is notoriously private.His
reason for not giving interviews or attending festivals is that he values the
anonymity that allows him to shoot quickly and cheaply on the streets.
Hallmarks of a ROHMER work: the contemporary setting, the philosophical discussions,
the intimate nature of the crisis of well off, self-absorbed characters.

at the audi then!
Merci Beaucoup/ Thank you very much!
