Full Moon in Paris

Full Moon in Paris (Les Nuits de la pleine lune, 1984) is Éric Rohmer's wry romantic drama, and you can watch it online on iFILM. Louise is young, restless, and in love with parties — exactly the wrong moment for the steady suburban couplehood her boyfriend Rémi wants.

So she rents a small second apartment in the city and starts spending her evenings there: sometimes with Octave, a writer pining hopelessly after her, sometimes alone in the crowd. Her theory is simple — keep the freedom, keep the man, lose nothing. Then she meets Bastien, and the arithmetic falls apart. It's part of Rohmer's Comedies and Proverbs cycle, where people talk themselves straight into their own traps.

Pascale Ogier won the Best Actress prize at Venice for this performance, then died at just 25, only months after the film opened. Rohmer shoots it quietly: long conversations, soft Paris interiors, not a wasted gesture. This one's for viewers who like their heartbreak played in half-tones rather than shouted.
