Claire's Knee
1970, Rated PG, 106 min. Directed by Eric Rohmer. Starring Jean-Claude Brialy, Aurora Cornu, Beatrice Romand, Laurence De Monaghan and Michele Montel.
World Cinema Classics: Rohmer's film centers on a soon-to-be-married man who is hurtled into an intrigue with a young girl for the entertainment of a novelist seeking plot ideas. Instead, the man becomes fixated on the knee of the girl's younger sister. As Proust had his madeleine, so too Rohmer has Claire's knee. Read a full review of Claire's Knee.
