McFly's Movie House
Decoding Temptation in Rohmer's Six Moral Tales | Kevin Mikos | McFly's Movie House #010
Eric Rohmer, a leading figure in the French New Wave, crafted a cinematic legacy marked by his unique exploration of morality and relationships. His Six Moral Tales, a series of films from 1962 to 1972, form a cohesive narrative exploring the intricacies of human behaviour and ethical dilemmas. Linked by a common theme, each film delves into the complexities of desire, fidelity, and the consequences of one's actions. From My Night at Maud's to Claire's Knee, Rohmer weaves together a tapestry of interconnected characters and subtle philosophical inquiries. The overarching message in the Six Moral Tales lies in examining personal choices and the moral quandaries that arise, revealing Rohmer's keen insight into the human condition and his ability to capture the nuances of romantic and moral dilemmas with finesse.
Kevin and I will discuss this series of films and our personal favourites of the bunch.
