There was a moment 40-minutes in where I had to pause the film and sit in reflection, because I was absolutely struck by how much I saw Delphine in myself. It is such an unusual sensation— I never really find characters in films who encapsulate me completely, but I did with Delphine, and I wasn't sure how to react. It's almost comforting in its honesty. This film required me to look inwardly at myself instead of as a mere bystander in others' affairs, and I think that alone is a worthy accomplishment.

4.6/5

A film that speaks to me like few others. I see so much of Delphine in myself that the film would be hard to watch if its criticism of her reservedness weren't so empathetically delivered. Rohmer was a master.

5 years ago, the cripplingly indecesive movie character i related to most was cameron fry from FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF - now it's delphine. that scene where she struggles to articulate why she's vegetarian is me any time someone expects me to explain or defend my beliefs offline.

also is ALL THE LIGHT IN THE SKY swanberg's GREEN RAY?

Rohmer is more interested in dimension than anything else, both literal and metaphoric. The spacial dimensions of the frame have a consciously defined awareness that isn't seen in many films and this is constantly a part of the interplay between characters (vast public spaces make the open nature of our characters and dialogue miraculously claustrophobic, a somewhat retroactive effect that is definitely one of the clear intents of the piece). Rohmer is also interesting primarily in that his dialogue and each segregated 'moment' in the piece is wildly comic and slightly wry (within the first five minutes there's a memorable scene with escalating comments about a statue which is reminiscent of the screenplay for Vera Chytilova's seminal work Daisies) which makes the austere awareness of the existence of the camera even more interesting to watch.

Just when you see it, it's gone.

La mejor película que podía ver un viernes noche que no me apetecía salir.
Nunca había visto algo que me aliviase y doliera tanto al mismo tiempo. 💚

esta película me define tan bien que se me ponen los pelos de punta.

35mm. PFA in Berkeley. Beautiful and hilarious. Still one of my favorite endings ever.

A surprisingly fantastic film, its protagonist initially comes across as a frail whiner and not particularly compelling in any way - yet as the film progresses she finds her strength to blossom and proves to be utterly relatable. Possibly Rohmer's best?

Charming anatomy of loneliness.

도망가는 델핀이 답답하기도 한데 한편으로는 그게 내 모습이랑 너무 닮아 있어서 슬펐다.
그러나 도망치는게 어쩔 땐 용감한 행위 일 수 있다. 싫어도 타인을 생각하며 억지로 그 자리를 지키고 있는 것 보단 나은 것 같기도.
나에게도 녹색광선을 함께 보고 싶은 사람이 나타났으면 좋겠다.
