Rohmer must have enjoyed making this film immensely. Jean-Louis Tritignant, his featured player, is marvelous as a man with brains, varied interests, a firm belief in his Church, and a desire to become married asap. In fact he has already picked out his fortunate bride. She, like Elaine Robinson of 'The Graduate', just doesn't know it yet. The similarities to The Graduate end there fortunately. He meets an old school chum, now a professor in Philosophy and a Communist, and the two share their views over coffee. They meet again in the flat of the Philosophy professor's girlfriend, Maud. The discussion there traverses politics and philosophers to love and life. Jean-Louis is a mountain of contradictions, solid in his beliefs.
This is a delightful film throughout. Rohmer tickles the brain with debates that exclude harsh words, accusations or violence, no-one is blasphemed, and Maud is a marvelous provoker of thoughts on love.
