Les Jeux de société

About This Movie

So, 'Les Jeux de société' from 1989 is really something else. It’s this quirky mix of comedy and drama, structured in six distinct parts. It feels like you’re just dropping in on friends as they navigate these odd little rituals and games—there’s a charm in the way these personal connections play out. The pacing is a bit meandering, but that fits the conversational tone. The anecdotes, like the kiss to the Capucine and the Colin Maillard moments with kids, are playful and often nostalgic. You can sense that Rohmer is just letting these moments breathe, exploring themes of friendship and the absurdity of social contracts. It’s not flashy, but there’s a warmth and honesty in the performances that can be quite captivating if you’re in the right mood.

A unique exploration of social dynamics through games. · Has a laid-back, conversational atmosphere. · Perfect for a cozy viewing with friends or a film group.
