L’ami de mon amie / My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend / Boyfriends and Girlfriends / France / 1987

Even a minor Eric Rohmer (one of the lesser “Comedies et Proverbes”)proves to be an absolute gem. All the familar Rohmer elements are there: the modest but very aesthetic camera style; the firm grounding in setting; and the constant and amusing talk, talk which only reiterates the disjunction between talk about yourself and understanding of yourself, between speech and action. And Rohmer’s witty enough to mock himself with the matching colours of the two newly-formed couples in the final scene at the lakeside.
