“The modern man should have broader horizons, blend all cultures, live in capitals, be citizens of the world.”
French filmmakers love their Socialist commentary don’t they.
Decent, some parts felt a bit weirdly paced. That special atmosphere I like from Rohmer is present in what I would call a more argumentative form than usual.
Pretty good. Maybe a bit boring, political, but good! Watch it or something.
