Éric Rohmer19691h 50mRomance, Classic, Drama, Comedy

Why we chose it

Nominated twice for an Oscar, the film that made Rohmer famous is set in Clermont-Ferrand because Pascal was born there. A devout Catholic and a doctor who doesn’t believe end up arguing about Pascal’s wager until morning.

Synopsis

Jean-Louis, a devout engineer in Clermont-Ferrand, has quietly chosen the woman he means to marry when, a week before Christmas, he runs into Vidal, an old acquaintance who teaches philosophy and believes in nothing. Vidal takes him to meet Maud, a doctor who lives alone and argues better than either of them. Then the snow starts to fall, the last bus pulls out, and the conversation carries on.
