Made on a tiny budget, a delightful anecdotal account of the blossoming friendship between a gauche, highly opinionated country girl and a more laid-back Parisian student. Seemingly a slight, comic character study, it's actually about how we repond to nature, city life, money, injustice and (this is Rohmer!) language. Who else could make watching a black, wordless screen so magically suspenseful? (British Film Institute (BFI))

Rohmer’s friendly films are neither aggressive like Godard’s films, nor do they invite us into their world with the thoughtful warmth of Truffaut’s works. You either want to spend a few dozen minutes with them or you don’t. So far, I have found each of them to be pleasant company. Four Adventures of Reinette and Mirabelle is divided into four chapters on the director’s favourite subjects (morality, art, faith vs. science) and its core traditionally comprises lengthy polemics without reaching any clear conclusions, which means that you can continue with them even after the credits have rolled. The film also features Paris and that traditional attraction of the city on the Seine – the arrogant waiter. 75%
