Jerome: What are you doing on this bridge? You know it’s the Lovers’ Bridge?
Aurora, the novelist: My coffee grounds predicted an encounter, but it was only you. You didn’t even recognize me. Have I changed that much?
Jerome: Not at all. You’re prettier and younger than ever. But, I was steering the boat and, besides, I don’t look at the ladies anymore. That’s right. I’m getting married.
Conversations and scenes like these, whether in the novel or a film, are a kind of realer than real, truer than true.
In this part of Six Moral Tales, Eric Rohmer captures lives in a way that makes everyday life count.
Whether you’re walking on the road, ironing your clothes, or just unwinding on the beach, these may be the kinds of films that are worth watching.
