Member Rating:  
The "my" in My Night At Maud's belongs to the protagonist played by Jean-Louis Trintignant, a Catholic engineer whose struggle with his faith is renewed when he falls instantly in love with a woman he's never met (Marie-Christine Barrault) while attending mass. A chance meeting with an amoral old friend (Antoine Vitez) the same night places him in a potentially compromising situation when he's forced to spend the night with Vitez's alluring acquaintance Maude (Françoise Fabian), a sophisticated woman who challenges Trintignant's belief through intellectual and fleshly means. ~ Keith Phipps, Rovi

    This film is not for the anti-intellectual type. Rather, the dialogue-driven story presents a philosophical dichotomy between emotion vs. thought, religion vs. amorality, conformity vs. individuality, and pragmatism vs. idealism. At the root of the plot is the question of what role reason and calculation plays in love.

    In one of the first scenes of the movie a philosophical problem is discussed between Vidal and Jean-Louise. The plot then revolves around this theme and it's actualization in day-to-day life. Those who are interested in philosophy and those who are interested in how philosophy is expressed in art will find this movie interesting. The characters are not pretentious, so the philosophical paradigm that propels the plot is palatable. I gave it 3.5 stars.

    Quite well done, in the 1960s low-budget French style. Existential philosophies are discussed and played out. Lots of talk, in the manner of My Dinner with Andre. Beautiful women to look at, and a half-revealed ending.

    Yes   |   No
