This time on the podcast, Scott is joined by David Blakeslee to discuss Eric Rohmer’s My Night at Maud’s.
About the film:
In the brilliantly accomplished centerpiece of Rohmer’s “Moral Tales” series, Jean-Louis Trintignant plays Jean-Louis, one of the great conflicted figures of sixties cinema. A pious Catholic engineer in his early thirties, he lives by a strict moral code in order to rationalize his world, drowning himself in mathematics and the philosophy of Pascal. After spotting the delicate, blonde Françoise at Mass, he vows to make her his wife, although when he unwittingly spends the night at the apartment of the bold, brunette divorcée Maud, his rigid ethical standards are challenged. A breakout hit in the United States, My Night at Maud’s was one of the most influential and talked-about films of the decade.

I’m in love with Summer. It’s probably just lust, but I am currently too obsessed with the film (500) Days of Summer. I’ll figure out if it’s true love when it comes out on DVD.

- The Scorecard Review
The 500 Days Of Summer soundtrack.
Deschanel: We’ve been like Sid and Nancy for months now.
Gordon-Levitt: We have some disagreements but I hardly think I’m Sid Vicious.
Deschanel: No, I’m Sid.
Gordon-Levitt: Oh. So I’m Nancy?
So, Yes Man is over and forgotten and Zooey Deschanel has traded in a 47 year old Jim Carrey for a 28 year old Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Good decision. Not only because an on-screen relationship between them is, you know, fathomable, but also because Joseph Gordon-Levitt is one of the brightest stars of Hollywood’s undercurrent of young leading men. Sleepy La Beef can go play with robots all he likes, Gordon-Levitt makes good films (i.e. Brick) and he steals the show in all of them. So that, combined with the fact that the movie’s tagline (Boy Meets Girl. Boy Falls In Love. Girl Doesn’t.) could be the tagline for my life,...
