Suzanne's Career (1963)

In the second of Rohmer's moral tales, he examines the relationship between two friends and a girl who at first appears easily exploited. It is a complex tale of feelings and misconceptions, acted out within the head of the main character, as part of Rohmer's attempt to more easily simulate the mindscape quality of literature within a film.

My least favourite of the 6 so far (one more to go) and it is largely because of the lack of passionate moments which bring the later tales to life. This, a quick and cold examination on male projection which overarching themes seemed to be better developed in "The Collector".

Caused me to think very intently about my romantic interests, but I think that was mostly because it failed to truly draw me into its own cynical and ugly love triangle. Thematically, it is similar to The Bakery Girl of Monceau, but I found that one to be more thought-provoking and emotionally powerful, despite its shorter running time. This is still quite good, but didn't leave me stunned the way the previous film did.

Rohmer's Shadows, in that it's a jazzier, breezier, and smaller sample of what the director would investigate more deeply later on. Suzanne herself is kind of slight, but that's perfect because we see things through Bertrand's eyes and he can only see women in relation to himself. If only Spike Jonze would be this reflective and critical of his sadboyness... http://cinematalk.wordpress.com/2014/04/02/la-carriere-de-suzanne-suzannes-career-1963/

Is it crazy that this is my favorite Rohmer film? Probably because the Nouvelle Vague vibe is actually palpable in this one and everyone is dressed amazingly, but also Bertrand is like the original (?) cinematic "nice guy" beta male misogynist which is unfortunately something i can kind of relate to. Beyond that, basically everything about this still feels super relevant (and indie kids are still trying to dress like everyone in this movie).

very good. it's interesting to compare the narrator's subjective thoughts to the actual events (or our perception of them) happening on screen. some fairly unconventional but nonetheless realistic and intriguing character arcs.

18 Kasim 12 & Ahlak insanin kendisine dair bir sey midir yoksa cevresi ile olan etkilesimine dair midir? Dongusel iliskiler icerisinde kivranan, yolunu bulmaya calisan, ne istedigini bilmeyen ve belki de ancak bu belirsiz yollardan gecerek 'moral'ini insaa edebilecek, buyuyecek insanoglunun hikayesi. Filmin sevemedigim onemli bir noktasi; kurulugu. Bu kuruluk Rohmer'in amacladigi bir sey miydi yoksa O'nun o donem sinemaya pratik olarak yetkin olmamasindan mi kaynaklaniyordu?
