I have seen all but 2 of Eric Rohmer's feature films, and being that he is my favorite director I am very critical of what I like and don't like. This movie is ideal for two types of people: Francophiles who enjoy different sights and sounds of beautiful Paris (at times the movie is almost like a travelogue, especially in the 2nd story) and Eric Rohmer completists. This movie was a real treat compared to Rohmer's last few movies, which were becoming more tedious and uninteresting since "A Tale of Springtime". This movie was made at the same time Rohmer was in the midst of his Four Seasons series and pales in comparison to any of them. Rohmer fans will love it and people looking for a slight, forgettable talkfest in Paris. For anyone looking to enter the world of Rohmer, I'd recommend the two films that immediately proceeded this one, "A Summer's Tale" & "Autumn Tale" over this

Eric Rohmer's three stories about the allure of love and it's illusions. One of the most insightful films about relationships that I have seen. Each story is real in it's depiction of relationships in a style that is unlike anything made in America. You will either be disapointed or touched by the stories as you see a litte bit of your own experiences portrayed. A unique look at young love by a elderly master who provides keen insight about young love.

Really good movie, 3 interesting stories, good acting, great scenery of Paris. The only problem is the quality of the VHS picture. I purchased a new copy from this store, and watched it the very first time. I was very disappointed with the picture that kept moving constantly.

Ever wonder what it's like to be a romantic in the most romantic city in the world?

IF so, this movie is for you. The three stories are nice, simple, and comprensive. You'll enjoy them, and enjoy the sites.

Just sit back, and enjoy the trip through lovely Paris, France . . .
