Movie No. 25 (2013): LOVE IN THE AFTERNOON
Director: Eric Rohmer
Cast: Bernard Verley, Zouzou
In French, with English subtitles
Frederic faces a moral dilemma when Chloe decides to seduce her. It all started with Chloe dropping by Frederic's office in the afternoons. Chloe was the ex-mistress of Frederic's old friend. And (now) Frederic is happily married bourgeois. The film is the last of six moral tales of Eric Rohmer.
Despite the title, the film is not a love story. In an Eric Rohmer film, one should expect the unexpected. I just did in this film, but when the film ends I still have that smirk after the jaw-drop.
