This is the second of 4-season tales of Eric Rohmer. In my opinion, it is the least realistic of all. However, storytelling is as good as other Rohmer movies. A girl has a passionate affaire with another French guy she met during a holiday in America but then loses contact with him because she gives him a wrong address by mistake. As she admits in the movie, she hates living without a man and vacillates between two different men.
I am watching Eric Rohmer movies in order to understand French viewpoint on romantic relationships. However, it came to me a bit disturbing that the girl never quits speaking of her love of life when she is with other men. And those men are too indulgent that they would almost go out with her to search for that man. I wonder how realistic is this? I would like to discuss this with a French.
Finally, I also wonder what Rohmer was thinking when he turned this movie into a Prince Charmant story?
