Éric Rohmer’s fourth entry in the Comedies and Proverbs cycle, Full Moon in Paris is a beguiling tragicomedy about a woman searching for freedom in her relationships. Feeling confined living with her sweet but sour architect boyfriend Rémi (Tchéky Karyo) in the suburbs, textile designer Louise (Pascale Ogier) decides to do up her pied-à-terre apartment in Paris and partially move in so she can go out when she likes and enjoy moments of solitude. When she and her gossipy and uncomfortably forward friend Octave (Fabrice Luchini) spot Rémi with a familiar looking woman at café one night, they start questioning his fidelity.
Shining in one of her final roles, Pascale Ogier won the Volpi Cup at Venice for Full Moon in Paris before tragically passing away the same year. The film serves not only as an incisive snapshot of the young professional lifestyle in 1984 Paris – complete with a score by techno group Elli et Jacno – but of Ogier’s moment, capturing the height of her glamorous, offbeat, energetic personality. Based upon the tenet "He who has two women loses his soul. He who has two houses loses his mind", this boisterous film carries with it a quiet sadness as our hero attempts to balance a failing romance with her own emancipation.
