Rendezvous in Paris (1996)
Rohmer, Schrohmer
Rendezvous in Paris is comprised of
three short vignettes that all take place in Paris
and that all (supposedly) feature a "twist ending." Unfortunately, the
director forgot both the twists and the endings. I am dumbfounded by the positive
reviews this film has garnered. The New York Times pronounced it an "oasis of contemplative intelligence in the summer movie season," but I found it to be little more than a shallow puddle of banality. Dip your foot in if you must, but don't say I didn't warn you.
