Rohmer's talky Parisians rarely look this good — the new restoration gives one of his slyest comedies a proper big-screen life at the city's most stylish cinema. It suits French New Wave devotees, date-night cinephiles and anyone who prefers their romance neurotic and rain-soaked. If your group chat argues about crushes at length, this is the founding text.
What to expect
A first-run repertory experience in Metrograph's intimate Ludlow Street screening rooms, with the restoration playing multiple showtimes across the weekend. The lobby scene — bookstore, bar and commissary — is half the draw, so budget time before or after. Weekend evening shows at Metrograph frequently sell out, especially for new restorations.
Good to know

- Book seats online in advance — weekend restoration screenings sell out
- The upstairs commissary and lobby bookstore are worth 30 extra minutes
- Runtime is about 106 minutes, in French with English subtitles
- Pair it with the series' other Rohmer restoration for a double feature
