Four Adventures of Reinette and Mirabelle Page #5

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.

but don't cross cemeteries!

Not cross, follow...

That's simpler

than taking your...

huge detour.

There it is!

...not through, alongside...

What's the difference,

the cemetery's square!

No, it isn't!

Are you from here, sir?

Not really. And you?

Not at all.

But I know Montparnasse.

And this young lady...

They're hopeless...

Here you are.

Pay me now, please.

Sure. How much?

There's the check.

Can't you read?

4.30 francs, that it?

That's it.

Here.

You kidding me?

A 200-franc bill?

- Sorry, I've no change.

- Me neither.

Nobody ever has change.

So how can I have any?

- Look for it.

- Sure, but where?

You must have 4.30 fr.

1.30. 1.40...

1.50... 1.60.

All you've got is 1.60?

People don't go around

with only 1.60 francs in their pocket!

- I've 200 francs.

- Hell with that!

If you've no money,

don't go to cafs!

This is money, mister.

I'm waiting for a friend.

Maybe she'll have change.

So you say.

Waiting for a friend...

my foot!

I know that trick:

I turn my back and you're gone!

I'm alone here.

I wait on the terrace and the inside.

So as soon as I turn my back,

people can vanish.

Can they really? No...

because I've got my eye on them!

It's not always easy.

A girl split on me the other day.

Looked like you!

I've never been here before!

I'm only saying she looked like you...

a dead ringer!

I remember faces.

I'm not falling

for the "friend" bit twice...

- So watch it!

- I wasn't me, I tell you!

I don't have to believe you,

whatever you say! Just watch it!

Coming!

He's crazy!

95 francs...

Here you are.

You do too have change!

For customers!

People like you are a waste of time!

Sit here for two hours

over one lousy coffee!

It's been 5 minutes!

You'll stay, I guarantee you...

You'll wait till I get change...

maybe all afternoon!

Don't try to split,

I'm alert!

I'm waiting for someone!

What do I know?

You can't hog two seats all day

for 4.30 francs!

There're plenty of empty tables!

Yeah, things are slow today.

People like you who take

one coffee... I could starve!

You won't believe me?

I wouldn't get far

if I believed everybody.

I fell for the "friend" bit once.

Not twice!

I'm watching now... I'm watching!

What'll you folks have?

A big foamy hot chocolate.

Hi!

Don't!

Leave that chair where it is!

- How can I sit if I have no chair?

- I removed it.

So don't touch!

You're going to stop me

from sitting on the terrace of your caf?

So you're the friend!

Who's? Hers?

What of it?

He didn't think you'd come,

so he took the chair.

I'm here, so I'll take it back.

Go ahead, take it.

- What'll you have?

- Coffee.

- You, too?

- What?

OK, you'll get your coffee.

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…
