[SIX MORAL TALES I]: BAKERY GIRL OF MONCEAU, THE = [ SIX CONTES MORAUX I]: BOULANGÈRE DE MONCEAU, LA

"Simple, delicate, and jazzy, the first of the “Moral Tales” shows the stirrings of what would become the Eric Rohmer style: unfussy naturalistic shooting, ironic first-person voice-over, and the image of the “unknowable” woman. A law student (played by producer and future director Barbet Schroeder) with a roving eye and a large appetite stuffs himself full of sugar cookies and pastries daily in order to garner the attentions of the pretty brunette who works in a quaint Paris bakery. But is he truly interested, or is she just a sweet diversion?" (-DVD jacket)
