Entertainment Reviews:
This is the most ironic and, in many ways, judgmental of [Eric] ohmer's films.

There's irony but no cruelty here; Rohmer is not making Louise the butt of the joke or saying "serve her right." It's simply in the nature of stories illustrating a proverb that someone is bound to suffer from the principle at stake.

Rating: 5/5 --
Full Moon in Paris ranks with the very best of Rohmer. Enlightened self-deception is the system in this tiny universe, and it's invigoratingly comic to behold.

Rating: 3.5/4 --
Pascale Ogier stars as the quintessential Rohmer woman, loved and admired by the men around her but desperately confused about the meaning of love.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
...[Rohmer's films] look and sound like those of no other contemporary writer-director...anywhere else in the world....[A] small masterpiece...
New York Times
Out of this Lubitschian tangle Rohmer finds Le Beau Mariage in reverse, and couches it in terms of pure rhythm still unappreciated by bookish critics

Product Description:
In Eric Rohmer's A FULL MOON IN PARIS, Louise (Pascale Ogier) is a tiny woman with the weepiest eyes and the most voluminous 1980s hairstyle that has ever hit the French big screen. She is bored of her reliable relationship with her faithful, disciplined boyfriend, Rémi (Tchéky Karyo), but she's not sure that she's ready to leave him. She moves her belongings out of their shared apartment in the suburbs and moves into an adorable studio apartment in the heart of Paris. Louise tells Rémi that she will spend the weekdays in her little apartment, simply so that she can have some time to herself. In reality, however, she wants to go out and party. Constantly pursued by her horny, married friend, Octave (Fabrice Luchini), Louise prefers to go to parties where she dirty dances with a lanky greaser named Bastien (Christian Vadim). Eventually Louise realizes that she simply cannot have her cake and eat it too. That is when Rohmer's classic style kicks in and the film changes over into long existential conversations, harrowing expressions of loneliness, and heartbreaking sincerity. A FULL MOON IN PARIS is one of five films in Eric Rohmer's Comedies and Proverbs series, and is based on the proverb, "He who has two women loses his spirit. He who has two houses loses his mind."
