About

If you like intimate, talk-driven romantic dramas and big ideas about faith and love, My Night at Maud's may be for you; Not for you if you want action, or if you dislike dialogue-heavy films like Léon Morin, Priest or Pauline at the Beach.

Pros: sharp philosophical debate; charming winter setting; memorable romantic tension | Cons: very dialogue-heavy; slow early pacing; divisive religious tone
