Do you want to change human nature?

No of course not, but...

- You show him too much how much you love him.

That's possible.

Probably it's true

that one shouldn't show his feelings too much.

I find that very sad.

- Maybe, but that's how it is.

Everytime i am myself,

it doesn't work out.

If a man wants some distance,

i do the same. That usually works.

I also find that detestable,

but that's what one has to do, one has to play.

He has to think

that lots of men want you.

And who would that be?

None of the guys i know compares to him.

Then look for others!

The next day

Hello!

- Do we know each other?

No. But i won't hold you up for long.

You want to hold me up?

- Not at all,

but my dentist is on vacation...

- So?

The dentist i have an appointment with

is only the replacement.

Yes, but you know where it is.

If you have an appointment, go!

But only in five minutes time.

I hate waiting rooms.

And that's why you're holding me up?

Only for three minutes if you allow me.

I'll explain it to you.

I've never been in this quarter,

and since i was scared of being late

i came a bit earlier.

I got off the metro, saw you

and just had to talk to you.

One has exceptional encouters,

when they're least expected.

While travelling, at the end of the holidays,

or when having an urgent appointment.

That's my bad luck, but also my good luck,

because it gives me courage.

Courage doesn't always pay off.

Infact you'll be late because of it.

Maybe.

But whenelse will we meet again?

Then you'll have to get another dentist.

I'll definitly get another one.

Then you'll find another girl to help you pass time.

Do you have a telephone?

- No.

Want my number?

No, that's not neccessary,

i wouldn't call anyway.

I'll come back here every morning.

- I'll go on vacation next week.

Well then, goodbye.

Do you know the "Dame Tartine"

in Beaubourg?

The "Dame Tartine"? Yes.

- I'll be there tonight at around seven.

Hello. I'd like some honey.

There's light and dark one. Which one shall i take...

- There's liquid and solid one.

Solid. Cevenne honey. Thanks.

That's 28 francs.

Wait, i can't find my wallet.

Sorry, i can't take it...

Don't worry.

I'm sorry, Monsieur.

I'm so angry.

This totally annoys me.

This has never happened to me.

No, it was my fault.

I'm far too lightheaded.

What was in it?

My ID, my driver's licence,

all my cards from university...

Yes, the door rang.

I'll call you back, mum. Bye.

Who is it?

- Esther Mancoffier?

That's me.

I think this is yours.

- My wallet! Come in.

That's wonderful! Where did you find it?

- At the market in Montparnasse.

I couldn't come earlier,

Éric Rohmer

Jean Marie Maurice Schérer or Maurice Henri Joseph Schérer, known as Éric Rohmer (French: [eʁik ʁomɛʁ], 21 March 1920 – 11 January 2010), was a French film director, film critic, journalist, novelist, screenwriter, and teacher. Rohmer was the last of the post-World War II French New Wave directors to become established. He edited the influential film journal, Cahiers du cinéma, from 1957 to 1963, while most of his colleagues—among them Jean-Luc Godard and François Truffaut—were making the transition from film critics to filmmakers and gaining international attention. Rohmer gained international acclaim around 1969 when his film My Night at Maud's was nominated at the Academy Awards. He won the San Sebastián International Film Festival with Claire's Knee in 1971 and the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival for The Green Ray in 1986. Rohmer went on to receive the Venice Film Festival's Career Golden Lion in 2001. After Rohmer's death in 2010, his obituary in The Daily Telegraph described him as "the most durable filmmaker of the French New Wave", outlasting his peers and "still making movies the public wanted to see" late in his career. more…
