Frédéric: Is it possible to love two women at once? Is it normal?
Chloé: Depends on what you call love. If you mean passion, no. But that doesn’t last. If you mean sleeping with several girls and even caring for them, there’s nothing more common. Everybody does it. Polygamy’s very natural.
Frédéric: Polygamy? That’s barbarian. It turns women into slaves.
Chloé: Not if women do it as well. If you were normal, you’d sleep with anyone you wanted, and so would your wife. I know I’m right and someday I’ll convince you. You’ll cheat on your wife one day. Not necessarily with me. Another girl will reap the benefits of my hard work.
Frédéric: In a polygamous society, I’d be polygamous. No problem. But in the society we live in, I won’t base my life on lies. I hide too much from my wife as it is.
Chloé: What makes you think she doesn’t?
Conversations like this are what Eric Rohmer’s signature style is in his filmmaking.
For me, film must be a compatibility of what is real and become more real than anything that the audiences feel that they are watching about themselves.
Films like this, especially these days, are rare because most films nowadays are byproducts of clicks and thumbs-ups, but not on something that has deep conversations about daily life for each individual.
