Amazon.co.uk Review
French director Eric Rohmer, former critic and Cahiers du Cinema editor, created a very special romantic film series around the difficult choices men make when they fall in love with two women, called "Six Moral Tales." My Night at Maud's was the third entry and it was so well received in 1969 that it gave Rohmer international prominence. To this day, it remains Rohmer's masterpiece, a brilliantly insightful and sublime meditation on adult indiscretions. Jean-Louis Trintignant plays a chaste engineer who thinks he has met his soul mate in church (Marie-Christine Barrault), yet winds up accidentally spending the night with the seductive Maud (Francoise Fabian), who is more his intellectual equal. Filmed in stark black and white by Nestor Almendros, this is one of those rare films in which questions about philosophy translate into unexpected answers about the heart. It's slow and methodical but well worth the experience. --Bill Desowitz
Customer Reviews
A SLOW ARROW OF BEAUTY (2001-10-28)  This movie is forever young for many reasons. The first is that the Beauty acts sometimes in a strange way: slowly, step by step almost a goast. But you may experience a shock, as I did, with this unique movie. Aesthetic (black and withe?), erotic (yes, erotic...), call what you want. From that time, my teens, I am haunted by Maud. A delicatesse. To sleep or not to sleep that is the matter. In which way? That is the torment, delicious torment. Ma Nuit Chez Maud.
