“Glamorous, in a witty, wildly offbeat way. FULL MOON IN PARIS is an account of balancing the demands of autonomy, hipness, and having a love life.”
—Film Comment

⁠“FULL MOON IN PARIS is full of small grace notes that accumulate and transcend simple drama to become something far more profound.”
—In Review

In the fourth entry in Eric Rohmer’s Comedies and Proverbs cycle, Pascale Ogier finds life in the suburbs with her boyfriend (Tchéky Karyo) impossible, yet the possibility of life in Paris — without him — unimaginable. Co‑starring Fabrice Luchini as her motormouth confidant and featuring the electropop of Elli & Jacno, the film finds Rohmer in a different rhythm, but one painfully familiar to anyone who has ever been young, restless, and indecisive.
