Title: Rohmer: why?
Review: don't understand the appeal of Rohmer. his films are dry, cold, stiff and didactic. it's like he asked his actors to act like mannequins (English sense). i remember one film where a character takes some money from his pocket to pay for something, without even looking at what he's handing over. and the clerk, similarly, makes change from his drawer without looking at the drawer or the money to see how much change he's giving. trivial? bizarre! and it's all like that.
Is the review positive or negative?
