Paris is in the foreground

Warning: Spoilers
It's the first movie i ever saw from Éric Rohmer. This is one tragicomical narrative and i think it's a good plot here and it has a great plot-twist at the end. The story is turned over to the audience really well in my opinion. Pierre Wesselrin the main character had some long walks in the streets of Paris like most of the movie and particularly, i like that and those scenes are shot well in a directorial way when you think about it.

Jess Hahn is good for the entire film and he fits his role both by an appearance and acting way as Pierre who is kinda a guy that is full of it, inconsiderate and self-obsessed but i really like the performance of Jean Le Poulain as Le clochard.

When you think about the film, the scenery is really important part of it, you know, the streets, the roads, the buildings, the bridges, cafes and restaurants etc. Honestly, it kinda makes me wanting to go to Paris. Particularly, it's satisfying visually to see Pierre walks along the River Seine.

It's Éric Rohmer's first feature film and as i said, it was his first film I've watched and i can say that i like his directing style. If you have a thing for Paris, you should watch it.
