Amour l’Après-Midi
[Chloe in the Afternoon;
Love in the Afternoon]
(1972)

RATING:100%
FORMAT:DVD



Movie dominated by the existence and very presence of the female sex. Here women are presented in all their glory and the sheer variety of them in this film cannot be beaten. All the women here are attractive in their own way because they realize that all men are really a little frightened of them and they know how to exploit this to their own psychological advantage. This is accepted by the men here as the price they have to pay for being the weaker sex.

A man can only know what a woman is thinking until the fate she has in store for you has come to pass. The seductress here presents the hero with the tempting moral dilemma of whether or not he should be unfaithful to his wife with her. The affect of being tempted by his own sexual fantasies is to bring him closer to his wife and a deeper appreciation of his love for her.

Science:



No science is immune to the infection of politics and the corruption of power.



Jacob Bronowski… (1908 - 74), British scientist, author. Encounter (London, July 1971).


Sleep of Reason:



The dream of reason produces monsters. Imagination deserted by reason creates impossible, useless thoughts. United with reason, imagination is the mother of all art and the source of all its beauty.



Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes… (1746-1828), Spanish painter. Caption to Caprichos, number 43, a series of eighty etchings completed in 1798, satirical and grotesque in form.


Humans & Aliens:



I am human and let nothing human be alien to me.



Terence… (circa 190-159 BC), Roman dramatist. Chremes, in The Self-Tormentor [Heauton Timorumenos], act 1, scene 1.


Führerprinzip:



One leader, one people, signifies one master and millions of slaves… There is no organ of conciliation or mediation interposed between the leader and the people, nothing in fact but the apparatus - in other words, the party - which is the emanation of the leader and the tool of his will to oppress. In this way the first and sole principle of this degraded form of mysticism is born, the Führerprinzip, which restores idolatry and a debased deity to the world of nihilism.



Albert Camus… (1913-60), French-Algerian writer & philosopher. The Rebel: An Essay on Man in Revolt: New York: Vintage Books, (1984; page 182.)
