A Summer's Tale
Éric Rohmer · 1996
Nuevo cuento de las "cuatro estaciones" de Rohmer. El joven Gaspard llega de vacaciones al balneario francés de Dinard. Su idea es encontrarse allí con Lena, la muchacha que lo tiene loco. Pero en esos días soleados y calmos conoce a otra chica, una morena atractiva y sensual que le sugiere nuevos rumbos a su corazón. Sin embargo, tal vez la respuesta no esté en ella, sino en Margot, la dulce camarera con la que Gaspard hace amistad sin darse cuenta.

My Night at Maud's
Éric Rohmer · 1969
The Catholic Jean-Louis runs into an old friend, the Marxist Vidal, in Clermont-Ferrand around Christmas. Vidal introduces Jean-Louis to the modestly libertine, recently divorced Maud and the three engage in conversation on religion, atheism, love, morality and Blaise Pascal's life and writings on philosophy, faith and mathematics. Jean-Louis ends up spending a night at Maud's. Jean-Louis' Catholic views on marriage, fidelity and obligation make his situation a dilemma, as he has already, at the very beginning of the film, proclaimed his love for a young woman whom, however, he has never yet spoken to.

It's a Wonderful Life
