Claire's Knee
Claire's Knee ★★★½ Le Genou de Claire 1971
A grown man about to be married goes on a holiday and develops a fixation on a young girl's knee. Another of Rohmer's Moral Tales exploring sexual and erotic obsessions. Lots of talk, little else. You'll either find it fascinating or fail to watch more than 10 minutes. Most, however, consider it a classic. Sophisticated dialogue, lovely visions of summer on Lake Geneva. In French with English subtitles. 105m/C VHS, DVD . FR JeanClaude Brialy, Aurora Cornu, Beatrice Romand, Laurence De Monaghan, Gerard Falconetti; D: Eric Rohmer; W: Eric Rohmer; C: Nestor Almendros. Natl. Soc. Film Critics '71: Film.
