ABOUT THE FILMS: “The Bakery Girl of Monceau,” 1963, Dir. Éric Rohmer, 23 Mins, Janus Films, France In French with English subtitles. Simple, delicate, and jazzy, the first of the “Moral Tales” shows the stirrings of what would become the Rohmer style: unfussy naturalistic shooting, ironic first-person voice-over, and the image of the “unknowable” woman. A law student (played by producer and future director Barbet Schroeder) with a roving eye and a large appetite stuffs himself full of sugar cookies and pastries daily in order to garner the attentions of the pretty brunette who works in a quaint Paris bakery. But is he truly interested, or is she just a sweet diversion? FORMAT: DCP SUZANNE’S CAREER, 1963, Dir. Éric Rohmer, 55 Mins, Janus Films, France In French with English subtitles. Bertrand bides his time in a casually hostile and envious friendship with college chum Guillaume. But when ladies’ man Guillaume seems to be making a play for the spirited, independent Suzanne, Bertrand watches bitterly with disapproval and jealousy. With its ragged black-and-white 16 mm photography and strong sense of 1960s Paris, Rohmer’s second “Moral Tale” is a wonderfully evocative portrait of youthful naiveté and the complicated bonds of friendship and romance.
