Product Description One of Eric Rohmer's most renowned films, FULL MOON IN PARIS was originally released in 1984 to universal acclaim. Heralded as "a small masterpiece" and "the very best of Rohmer" by The New York Times, it is the story of Louise (Pascale Ogier), a young interior designer bored with her life in the sleepy suburbs with her live-in boyfriend Remi, an architect by trade and a homebody by nature. Eager to lead the life of an independent socialite in the city, Louise arranges to move back into her Paris apartment during the week. Balancing a steady boyfriend in the suburbs with a best friend, Octave (Fabrice Luchini), who makes plain his interest in her, and a bad boy musician who catches her eye at a party, eventually even the sophisticated and aloof Louise cannot untangle herself from the emotional realities of her various romantic encounters. Review Winner - Best Actress - Venice Film Festival Official Selection - Venice Film Festival Official Selection - Toronto International Film Festival - ---Ranks with the very best of Rohmer. Enlightened self-deception is the system in this tiny universe, and it's invigoratingly comic to behold. --The New York TimesIt's as elegant and incisive a comedy of manners as ever from Rohmer. --Time Out London

Style wins over Substance
Film director extraordinary Eric Rohmer did it. He managed to infuse his film, Full Moon in Paris, with so much French culture and style, the plot takes a back seat: style triumphs over substance.The plot is interesting: a pretty young lady hooks up with as many men she could handle. Her live in boyfriend, Remi, played by Tcheky Karyo, her best friend, who she has no sexual relation with, Octave and who is married, and played by a young Fabrice Luchini, plus a young rock n' roll musician played by Christian Vadim. This keeps Louise, played brilliantly, by actress Pascale Ogier, who in real life died on the eve of her 26th birthday, busy to say the least.As far as the plot's meat and potatoes, this movie is typical: woman looking for Mr. Right. As far as style, this movie is groundbreaking. Rohmer uses, scenery and visuals, more adroit, better than anyone else in show biz. Into the scene, he adds avant garde paintings, sculpture, furniture, clothing, windows, and so much more. It's all cutting edge.I'm sure as a bona fide visual storyteller, Rohmer wanted to tell the story of mixed up Louise in search of real love, yet, it's how Rohmer tells his story that makes him an attention getting supreme cinema storyteller. An ideal bookend to the great French new wave art movement filmmakers of the 1960s.In the end, I would classify Full Moon in Paris as an art movie, a far cry from a visual spectacular rising fireball. Yet it doesn't stray far away from the classical movie plot of a romance, a passionate heart seeking true love in a confused world. Nonetheless, what makes this movie special, is how the story is told. It's told with intense style, caked in French culture.If the saying is so, it's not what you say, but how you say it that counts, Full Moon in Paris, speaks with style, or as it is also called, panache.

A bit underwhelmed
Louise (Pascale Ogier) lives in the Paris suburbs with her boyfriend Remi (Tcheky Karyo). She says their relationship is good, but it's become increasingly strained by their having different wants and lifestyles. Louise has been renting out the apartment she lived in in downtown Paris, but when the latest tenant leaves, she decides to secretly take it back for herself so that she has a place to be alone. I like Rohmer ... really ... quite a lot, but occasionally he creates characters that grate on me with their ... "Frenchness" for want of a better term. That, plus my lack of affection for Ogier as an actress, renders this one a little underwhelming for me.

Not the Best Acting or Directing, But It Will Do
Despite the fact that Pascale Ogier does not appeal to me either as a woman or as an actress, I did end up sympathizing with her--perhaps pitying her comes closer to the truth. This 1984 movie resembles a game of musical chairs, with one lover being the loser in each round--until a new round begins and all players begin anew. Mildly recommended. 3 1/2 stars

Seeing a bunch of awesome ladies hang out
Full Moon is incredibly inspring! I have never rode back country myself, because I live in Minnesota where we shred ant hills, and rely on park features to get our fix. Seeing a bunch of awesome ladies hang out, go hard, and push one another is something I live for. That community is what I strive to build here at home, and I'm glad it was put out on film. Beautiful shots, and such luscious snow, all I can say is that I look forward to buying my next ticket to Whistler!!!!

Another example for slow mentation combined with taking things for granted. You never know how good you have until you lose it.

This movie is the kitties titties! It's amazing to see these ladies pushing snowboarding outside of the mainstream contest scene. The footage is unreal, from the pillow lines to the steeps up in Haines. Definitely recommend this film to every snowboarder young and old.

I was sleepy and this was the perfect soporific. Slept threw almost the whole thing
It may be my fault. I was sleepy and this was the perfect soporific. Slept threw almost the whole thing. My wife tells me she really enjoyed it, though.

"Qui a deux femmes perd son âme, qui a deux maisons perd la raison" Dicton champenois
C'est en 1984 qu'Eric Rohmer réalise son chef-d’œuvre cinématographique avec le quatrième volet de ses "Comédies et proverbes". Dans ce film littéraire voire bavard, pas bavard-chiant mais bavard parce qu'une nouvelle fois, son héroïne est confrontée à la difficulté de réaliser son désir et qu'elle le dit, l'explique, l'analyse et le justifie.Au travers de dialogues d'une rare intelligence, Rohmer nous raconte l'amour de Louise partagée entre un compagnon casanier qui l'aime trop (Rémi) et un ami (Octave) fantasque et verbeux bien qu'irrésolu en actes. Louise prompte à conserver et à prolonger l'illusion de son adolescence, sort beaucoup, voit des amis et retarde l'heure de regagner sa banlieue où elle vit avec Rémi. Avide d'indépendance, elle travaille à Paris où elle décide d'aménager un studio tout en continuant à voir Rémi. Trop confiante en son amour, elle ne saura pas le préserver.En longs plans-séquences d'une mise en scène précise et épurée, la caméra spectatrice de Rohmer décortique (sans parti-pris mais avec une finesse et une sensibilité qui lui est propre) ces nouveaux fragments du discours amoureux.Pour peu qu'on veuille en accepter le procédé d'entrée : On s'aime, on s'aime trop, on s'aime mal, on ne s'aime plus... cette banale histoire d'amour vaut surtout par ses trois comédiens. Tchéky Karyo (Rémi) personnage "physique" aussi sobre que tourmenté avec qui Louise est reliée sensuellement, Fabrice Luchini (Octave) inénarrable de drôlerie à la fois douloureuse et pathétique, enfin et surtout Pascale Ogier (Louise) frémissante et morfondue, vacillante et incertaine, si singulière et si troublante.Elle reçue le prix d’interprétation féminine au festival de Venise, peu avant sa tragique disparition à la fin de l'année 1984... Elle n'avait que 25 ans.

Buy it for Pascale and Fabrice / Achétez-le pour Ogier et Luchiini
Though this film depicts an an outdated 1970s philosophy of free love, it is well done and worth the purchase. Perfect performances by a ravishing Pascale Ogier, who broke my heart by dyiing shortly after the release of the film, and a young Fabrice Luchini.Malgré que ce film se concentre sur la philosophie d'amour libre des années '70, le film est trés bien fait, avec des performances extraordinaires d'un jeune Fabrice Luchini et la ravissante Pascale Ogier, qui a brisé mon coeur par mourir peu après la sortie du film. Trés bon film qui vaut sa place parmi les oeuvres dans votre collection.

Pas tout à fait dans le juste ton ...
La distribution ne m'a pas semblé atteindre le fondu et l'homogénéité que l'on trouve dans les grands ROHMER , même lorsqu'il n'y a aucun " grand acteur " : Ogier n'est pas l'héroïne rohmérienne idéale : elle en a la dureté mais pas assez la fragilité raffinée , Luchini fait déjà du Luchini ( ce qui confirme que certains acteurs talentueux ne s'intègrent pas bien dans le ton rohmérien ) , Karyo est très bien , mais son personnage reste singulièrement opaque ...L'adultère n'est pas bien joyeux et la fin ne laisse guère d'espoir aux personnages ...A revisionner cependant , en se concentrant sur les détails cette fois .Qualité d'image quelconque du DVD .Dans mon souvenir , déjà lointain , la projection en salle , à la sortie , était de toute façon loin d' être techniquement éblouissante .

寄り添うように観てしまう。
「私には孤独が必要なの。ひとりでシングルベッドで眠る時間が…。彼を愛するために…。」…と、自己愛の海にどっぷり浸かり、自分に気のある男友達オクターヴ(ファブリス・ルキーニ)を「無意識に」誘惑しながら、語りかけるルィーズ(パスカル・オジェ)。建築家のレミ(チェッキー・カリョ)と、郊外のシャレた部屋で暮らし、インテリアの仕事をするルィーズは、仕事場ちかく、パリ街中のステュディオ(=ワンルームマンション)を、自分のお城とすべく自分の手で内装を整えはじめます。(…ファッションが少々'80で、今見ると、ちょっとスッキリしないことが難ですが、インテリアはとてもフンイキがあり、とくに照明器具の工夫が素敵で真似してみたくなります。)エリック・ロメールは、ほとんどの映画で美術・衣装すべて自分で担当しているそうです。でも本作では、ルィーズ役のパスカル・オジェが「パリの部屋」などかなりの部分、インテリアを担当しました。オジェは本作公開後まもなく25歳の若さで亡くなり、『満月の夜』は彼女の遺作となりました。自分で美しく整えた月の光を感じさせる部屋のなかで、「はがゆく、所在なげで、身勝手な…」ひとつまちがえば、鼻持ちならないだけに終わりそうなルィーズという女のコを、透きとおるように演じたオジェ。彼女のその後を知るせいか、(とても自然にオールヌードもみせてしまう…)成熟しきらない少女のような、ほっそり華奢な体にまとわりつく儚さのせいか、あるいは自分にも思い当たる節が…と思えてくるロメールの語り口のせいか…私は、この映画を「寄り添うように」みてしまいます。ロメールの映画は、「会話が大切」と言われますが…。「会話自体(内容)」というよりは(ソレももちろん大切ですが)、会話の交わされる場の(自然の風景や部屋の様子や人物の仕草などすべてを含めた)「雰囲気」のことだと思います。会話が中心で映像的魅力に乏しい映画であるかのように誤解されることが、ときにはあるようですが…。それはちがうと思います。人と人(…ロメールの映画はほとんど恋愛をめぐっての男女)が醸しだす空気や感情のゆらぎなど、目には見えないものをこんなにうまく見せてくれる映画はそんなにありません(…と思います)。あまり気合いを入れないで…というか気合いのないときも、なぜかみてしまえるロメールの映画。おしゃべりな男女が「ああでもない、こうでもない…」と取り留めなく会話する、自然な美しい映像に寄り添うように、みるのがよいのだと思います。いつの間にか、映画のルィーズの部屋と自分の部屋が溶け合って、そのなかを漂うようにみるのがよいのだと思います。(ラストカットの薄日のにじむ2月の空は、ファーストカットの11月の曇り空と、なにもかわりありません。ルィーズの4ヶ月間をのみこみ、『満月の夜』をのみこみ…なにもかわりありません。それを確かめたくて、ときどき私はこの映画をみるのかもしれません。レナート・ベルタ撮影の、美しく沈んだ「かわりのない」空をみるために…。)『満月の夜』はとても美しい映画ですが、軽やかさやコミカルな要素がなく、そこが好き嫌いの別れるところのようです。
