Four Adventures of Reinette and Mirabelle Page #4

Synopsis: Reinette and Mirabelle are two young girls. Reinette lives in the countryside, Mirabelle in Paris. They meet during a holiday of Mirabelle in the country, when Reinette helps her to repair the tube of her bicycle and shows her the beauties of nature and in particular the 'blue hour'. They like each other and decide to take a flat together in Paris, where they'll attend at the University. But isn't so easy to live together when the characters are so different: as Reinette is simple and enthusiastic, as Mirabelle is obscure and lazy.

I like trains.

I'll try it.

My cousins are so nice...

I share an apartment with a girl

who's leaving in September.

If you want

you could share it with me.

So you'd really be in Paris.

If that suits you.

I'm very independent.

We'll each have our own room.

I could fix mine up as I want?

Sure, we'd be sharing fifty-fifty.

And you're on your own...

Bring home who you want...

Do what you want...

I have a boyfriend

but he doesn't live with me.

So he comes over.

You got a lover?

That's a secret,

it's my private life...

If I talk about it,

it's not private anymore!

You dance well!

I don't know how!

Doesn't show.

Dancing comes naturally.

I never learned.

I've never even tried.

- I've never been to a disco.

- Really?

That's nonsense,

saying you can't dance.

I've traveled.

I've been to Mexico...

To Tunisia, Greece

and the Caribbean.

We ought to go to bed

or we'll miss the blue hour.

Live for the moment!

Like a Parisian!

A Parisian must dance well!

We'll miss the blue hour.

You really want to?

It was for you...

If it's for me,

let's dance till midnight. OK?

THE WAITER:

- Leaving already?

- I'm late.

- When do you get out?

- 3 P.M.

We could meet...

in Montparnasse.

Meet me at school.

A cafe's handier. There's one

called "Equality" or something.

What's the address?

Near the Montparnasse tower.

Gat St.

- Know where it is?

- No, but I'll find it.

What number?

I don't know, but it's a caf...

It's near a square

with a subway station.

What station?

I don't know. Doesn't matter

since you're walking there.

Take Grande Chaumire St.,

keep going straight...

Cross one avenue,

then another...

There's a little street between.

The square's at the end.

The caf faces the station.

OK, Gat St.

If I can't find it, I'll ask.

You can't miss it.

See you later.

Excuse me, sir...

Where's Gat St.?

You're in luck.

I was just there, or almost.

It's left of Maine Ave.

- Maine Ave.?

- It's a broad, tree-lined avenue.

Now where Gat St. starts there aren't

any trees, the avenue goes underground.

Keep going, take a right, then left,

left again, twice left, and you're there.

Got it?

Need help, miss?

I'm looking for Gat St.

It's close. I was just there, or almost.

It's that way!

Gat St?

Yes, turn right, follow the cemetery,

then right again.

It's to the left! It is if you take

Maine Ave., and shorter!

That's a big detour!

What? Maine Ave.'s to the left,

and so is Gat St.!

That Way's much shorter.

The rear window of Gat St.

overlook the cemetery.

Friend of mine lived there.

Damn your friend.

It's tasteless to send her

to a cemetery

to reach Gat St.

when it's that way!

All roads lead to Rome,

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…
