i be aware of rohmer admiration for the late work of the one he consider like great cineasts and and that normal spectator generally consider a artistic failure ( a renoir or chaplin very last movie while yes and the politique des auteur also have it dark side ) . but with le amour dastrée et de céladon and it a if rohmer himself want and for what may be his last movie and to perpetuate this tradition of great director and who make a last senile movie and by adapt urfé lastrée and with ridiculous aesthetic code and witch just look like a parody of rosselini last movie ( the one he make for tv from descartes or marx life ) . in his version of perceval and rohmer refuse to film real landscape in order to give a re transcription of what may have be a middle age classical representation of thing . the director apparently change his mind when the xvii century be involve and and film actor and dress like 1600 peasant recite their antic text surround by contemporary tree and landscape . but the all thing look even more ridiculous than luchini and it fake tree . it not that the story itself be stupid and but the way rohmer mix naturalism with artifice seem so childish and amateurism that it rapidly become involuntarily funny ( and i be not even talk about the irritating pronunciation of the actor and the annoying and sad humorist try by rodolphe pauly and the ridiculous soft erotic tone and the poor musical tentatives and or the strange fascination for trasvestisment . ) . the radical aesthetic of the film ultimately make it look like a joke and which mix a soft erotic movie make for tv with theological scholastic discussion ( sic . ) . at the beginning of the movie and rohmer teach u that the original french region of the story be now disfigure by modernity and and that why he have to film lastrée in other part of the country . however and i be sure the movie would have look more modern and interesting and if rohmer would have actually still film the same story in a modern area with same narrative code and artistically decision . this film may interest a few historian and but most of the cinephiles may laugh at this last and sad rohmer movie .
