FULL MOON IN PARIS / LES NUITS DE LA PLEINE LUNE / НОЧІ ПОВНОГО МІСЯЦЯ

1984 / 102' / France

Louise lives with Rémi in Marne-la-Vallée. He is an architect, she is an interior decorator. Their lives would be perfect if Rémi were less of a homebody, and if Louise were not such a night owl. Conscious of preserving her independence, Louise rents a pied-à-terre in Paris. Octave, her friend and confidant, is always ready to accompany her during her night prowls. One evening, beneath a full moon, and Octave’s jealous, loving gaze, she succumbs to the charms of a sensual dancer. As day breaks she realizes, however, that she would much rather be with Rémi.

DIRECTOR - ERIC ROHMER

Biography

Éric Rohmer (1920-2010) was a French film director, one of the most prominent representatives of the "New Wave" in post-war French cinema, and the chief editor of Cahiers du Cinéma from 1958 to 1963. In the late 1950s, he began collaborating as an editor with Cahiers du Cinéma. From 1957 to 1963, he served as the chief editor of the magazine. Rohmer started his directing career later than his colleagues from the magazine, Jean-Luc Godard and François Truffaut. He distinguished himself as a master of refined stylized adaptations, bringing to the screen the etiquette and rituals surrounding romantic relationships of past eras. He divided his films into several cycles, with the first cycle, which explores the survival of traditional Christian morality in modern conditions, receiving the highest acclaim. After completing the film "The Romance of Astrea and Celadon" (2007), Rohmer announced his retirement from directing.
