La femme de l’aviateur (1981)
(The Aviator's Wife)
Country: FR
Technical: col(16mm) 106m
Director: Eric Rohmer
Cast: Philippe Marlaud, Marie Rivière, Anne-Laure Meury, Mathieu Carrière
Synopsis:
A student working nights in Paris is in love with an older girl who is in turn in love with an airline pilot who is finally leaving her for his wife!
Review:
Not actually similar in style to "La Ronde" (or Andromaque!) but an intricately detailed dialogue study of male and female attitudes to love (like much of its director's work). There is a delightful central scene, the longest, in the park, in which the student and precocious schoolgirl spy on the pilot and, as it turns out, sister (the wife is never seen).
