Conte d'automne (1998)


A widow's best friend tries to find her a new husband, but the ad posted in the newspaper attracts more than one possibility.

Éric Rohmer's version of a screwball comedy: ever so slightly humorous and very realistic.

Halliwell**: "Gently perceptive, witty drama, given a physical and spiritual autumnal setting, and one that is rooted in the realities of everyday life."

Maltin***1/2: "Delicious adult comedy...This is Rohmer at his best; glorious fun with a most appealing cast."
