A disappointing melodrama with a pedestrian script and direction.

Rohmer left the stage with an audacious flourish, infusing a fifth-century pastoral fantasy (adapted from a seventeenth-century novel) with a lifetime of stories, passions, and big ideas. Sep 11, 2017 | Full Review…

But I wish the acting was less like amateur dramatics and the plot less like a slightly camp game. Sep 12, 2008 | Rating: 2/5

In this story, there's nothing so upsetting that a poem carved into a tree can't solve, and no hearts so broken that a spot of crossdressing can't cheer them up again. Feb 10, 2019 | Full Review…

Rohmer's gentle philosophical chat is better heard, I think, among the muddled middle-classes of late-20th century France. Sep 12, 2008 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

A transcendentally batty essay in am-dram costume cinema, starchy with recitative, fragrant with period fabric conditioner and white with laundered emotionalism. Sep 12, 2008 | Full Review…
