I'm a tiny bit embarrassed that I tend often to have conversations like the film portrays. Embarrassed, I suppose, because often one cannot help but be embarrassed when confronted by the uncanny similarities of someone who appears to be the same 'type', but I persist because doing anything else would be much the same, I imagine.

One character accuses Gaspard of viewing all women the same, as replaceable substitutes. It's not true; he attempts to contextualize his relationships with each by his encounters with the others, but that's no easy feat. It's a testament to the nature of young love, of constantly shifting desires, to restlessness and angst, and the significance of transient relationships. The location is scenic (par for Rohmer's course), shot with a perspective that is matter-of-fact and often documentarian.

Maybe this is the male version of The Green Ray and if so, it's sort of interesting that Rohmer makes his protagonist quiet and distant as opposed to constantly talking. Whatever the case, Gaspard doesn't register as closely as Delphine, but Rohmer's perceptiveness in human interaction is pretty much unmatched. Calling him the French Ozu is dubious, but he seems to be mining similar material. I sort of have a "Margot" situation right now. :/

A wonderful film. Incredibly insightful, compassionate and understanding, whilst also finding the humour in the almost ludicrous holes that Gaspard quite believably gets himself trapped in. I found the friendship between him and Margot very touching, and just generally it was great to sit back and observe these characters as they talk about their emotions and how they perceive things.
