My opinion was similar to Edwin's. The backdrops were amazing and their integration with the action of the film jaw-dropping, but the film itself is, for me, a lesser Rohmer, never approaching the wondrous heights of Perceval or Boyfriends and Girlfriends.
This is one of my most anticipated releases of the year, I just hope I get the chance to see it in a theater.
Perceval is in my top 3 Rohmer's, so you're whetting my apetite even more Ted.
The Aviator's Wife just shipped from Netflix, so barring further shipping mishaps, I should be seeing...
