When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

I have to admit that I was not really impressed with my first Rohmer experience: Les amours d'Astrée et de Céladon. Maybe I should view it again after seeing some more of his films. And, here I am watching the last film in a series (Rohmer's Six Moral Tales). I will watch the rest, but this supposed to be the best.What we have here is an eternal question. Frédéric (Bernard Verley) loves his wife Hélène (Françoise Verley), but wonders if he would have made a different choice. So, he spends his time admiring women on the street and speculating. He even imagines he has a magical device that robs the women of their free will.Chloé (Zouzou), an acquaintance from the past, shows up one day and she and Frédéric spend a lot of time together. It goes beyond flirting, but never to sex. She tells him she wants him to father her child. I am not sure whether she really wants a child, or if she just wants to see if she can get him in bed. He wants to maintain the friendship.The ending was very emotional, and satisfying.

This is not a film made in a traditional fashion; it shows that men may have some thoughts even at 50s. If you are working in areas where you have to treat public, certainly you will find ladies (or men, vice versa for women) whom you may like certainly, and attraction sometimes is fatal for certain families. Here there is no violence just the desire of a single woman to be with a married man and the way the latter reacts and finishes this relationship together with the attitude of his wife. She may seem passive, but is not, she suspected a lot until the man declares love again for her wife.

This is the kind of movie that brings out anti-Hollywood, anti-American feelings in a lot of people. Yes, Chloe in the Afternoon is an artful, beautiful, philosophical exploration of love and morality, all without giant explosions. It is also very, very boring.I admit I only rented it because I fell for the tease on its cover. I knew it was a tease, but I had to satiate my curiosity. It was almost funny in its sheer dullness. The last 10 minutes were not so bad, because it was finally over and something actually happened. But that hardly makes up for the rest of it.Just before I watched this, I saw the first of the 3 minute Star Wars Clone Wars cartoons. In 3 minutes, the short said more about humanity, morality, and love than the entire hour and a half of Chloe in the Afternoon.I'll just come out and say it. Cabin Fever, a movie I absolutely hated, was at least not boring. I'll take bad Hollywood over quality art house any day.

Great film by Rohmer. Another one that puts moral dilemma to the "grand jour". Emotions, feelings, passion, love: those are the ingredients so dearly associated to Rohmer. He explores human fallibility by telling us the story of Frédéric (Bernard Verley). He's married to Hélène (Françoise Verley), but along the way comes Chloé (Zouzou). Will he let go to temptation? Like other movies from Rohmer, "L'Amour l'après-midi" is presented like a book. It's a great combination of cinematic and literary experience.Out of 100, I give it 84. That's good for *** out of ****.Seen at home, in Toronto, on November 18th, 2002.
