 Our classic French film selection is Eric Rohmer’s Academy Award nominated My Night with Maud. After spending several years abroad, Jean-Louis, an engineer recently settled in Clermont-Ferrand, longs for some peace and quiet. At the church he attends every Sunday, he notices a young blonde woman he fancies and decides that she will become his wife. Then, while at a local restaurant, he meets Vidal, an old school friend, now a philosophy professor at Clermont-Ferrand University. Vidal invites him to spend Christmas Eve at Maud’s house. A doctor and divorcée, the dark-haired Maud, a beautiful, fascinating and single woman, is not impervious to Jean-Louis’ charms.
