Description
A recently jilted young Parisian woman (Rohmer’s co-writer Rivière) takes a solo vacation, but is frustrated in every attempt at human connection. The fifth of Rohmer’s “Comedies and Proverbs” cycle is a brilliant and witty character study of an independent, but insecure heroine. “The best film of the year [1986]. A singularly ennobling episode in the history of cinema." (Andrew Sarris, Village Voice)
