(73) Les Amours d'Astrée et de Céladon

Directed by Eric Rohmer
Rated R
2007
109 minutes

*** 1/2

Rohmer claims this is his last film. And while it certainly doesn't hold a candle to his earlier masterpieces, i.e. My Night at Maud's or Claire's Knee, it is still an extremely enjoyable, extremely talky (but Rohmer-talky) two hours. And from a director just celebrating his 89th birthday, it's a testament to his love of filmmaking and a great sendoff for the master of dialogue-driven cinema.
