Synopsis:

The Aviator's Wife - 1981
La Femme de l'aviateur was the first in Eric Rohmer's celebrated Comedies and Proverbs series. Francois (Philippe Marlaud) loves Anne (Marie Rivière). However, his nightshift job at the post office means they rarely get to spend much time together. One day, he sees her leaving home with her ex, Christian (Mathieu Carrière), who had come to break up with her for good. Reeling from the news, Anne lets Francois fall prey to his jealous imagination. Obsessed with the idea that she may have cheated on him, Francois decides to stay up all night. As he wanders, desolate, through the streets of Paris, he comes across his rival sitting in a cafe with a blonde-haired woman. Intruiged, he follows them. A young woman catches on to what he's up to and accosts him in an alley off the Buttes-Chaumont...

A Good Marriage - 1982
Le Beau Marriage, aka The Perfect Marriage, is the second of Eric Rohmer's 'Comedies et Proverbes'. Beatrice Romand (the adolescent star of Rohmer's Claire's Knee, now nicely grown up) impulsively decides that Andre Dussolier-whom she barely knows--would make an ideal husband. Now she must convince him that she'll make an ideal wife. Leaving her old boy friend in the dust, Romand launches her single-purposed pursuit of Dussolier. But because she's jumped in and started swimming without first checking the waters, our headstrong heroine is in for a major disappointment. Even after she's down, however, Romand refuses to be counted out.

Pauline at the Beach - 1983
Pauline a la Plage is the third of French filmmaker Eric Rohmer's 'Comedies et Proverbes.' Pauline (Amanda Langlet) is the teen-aged cousin of the seemingly more worldly and sensible Marion (Arielle Dombasle). Both girls become entwined in amorous escapades while vacationing at the beach. It gradually develops that Marion is the one least capable of handling herself, while Pauline grows in maturity from her summertime experiences. It is nothing short of amazing how Eric Rohmer can take the most conventional and obvious of material and weave something as charming and profound as Pauline at the Beach.

Full Moon in Paris 1984
A young woman looks for the true meaning of love and learns the truth of the old saw, 'You don't know what you've got until it's gone,' in this fourth installment in Eric Rohmer's Comedies and Proverbs series. The story opens with the proverb, 'He who has two women loses his soul. He who has two houses loses his mind,' and centers on Louise (Pascale Ogier) and her live-in lover, Remi a Paris architect and noted tennis player. Their relationship hits an important juncture when Remi decides he wants to get married, while Louise wants to continue living the life of a party girl. Eventually, Louise decides to escape her lover's oppression and become intimate with loneliness, so she moves to Paris where she makes complex plans to have her cake and eat it too. Unfortunately, things don't go exactly as planned as she finds herself the object of an amiable writer's affections.

The Green Ray - 1986
Summer (Le Rayon Vert) is the fifth of French director Eric Rohmer's 'Comedies et Proverbes' movie cycle. Left out of everyone's Summer vacation plans, unhappy Parisian student Marie Riviere (Rohmer's star in all of the 'Comedies et Proverbes') accepts an invitation to stay at her friend's empty apartment in Biarritz. Swedish tourist Carita tries to snap Riviere out of her bad mood, but the two ladies are polar opposites in terms of relating to the opposite sex. Carita will take it any way she can, while Riviere holds out for true romance. A mystical assignation tied in with the old Jules Verne novel Le Rayon Vert (The Green Ray) brings Riviere in contact with the man of her dreams (Vincent Gauthier). An international award winner, Summer was surprisingly overlooked in France, where director Rohmer was (in the 1980s at least) somewhat taken for granted.

My Girlfriend's Boyfriend - 1987
Blanche, a young civil service worker, new to her job at the Cergy-Pontoise town hall, does not know anyone, until she meets Lea, who introduces her to many other people; beginning a series of linked romances.

Love in the Afternoon - 1972
Eric Rohmer ends his cycle of 'Six Moral Tales' with this delightful film starring Bernard Verley as Frederic, a happily married man who discovers that he can't stop looking at beautiful women. As he says in a voiceover, 'I feel marriage closes me in, cloisters me, and I want to escape.' His escape comes to him in the form of Chloe (Zouzou), a woman from his past. Chloe had left for America as a successful model but has now returned to Paris, bored with her life and saddled with a man she doesn't love. Although Frederic is reluctant to see her at first, they agree to meet in the afternoons -- just to talk. He feels a freedom with her that he doesn't experience with anyone else because they have, he thinks, no commitments to each other. So, they talk of their problems and their relationships and, before long, Frederic finds that he is becoming increasingly attracted to her.

The Marquise of O - 1976
The widowed Marquise of O is saved from rape by a Czarist officer. Later she becomes pregnant but her family will not believe she does not know why and she is driven out of her home. She rebuffs the Russian's advances, but finally accepts when he admits having seduced her.
