The Boyfriend of My Girlfriend - L’Ami de mon amie - 2004-03-16. Director: Eric Rohmer. France, 1987, Color, 102 minutes. This film is a beautiful depiction of the interplay between chance and choice (or fate and will) during the period of love. The story is set in a postmodern nowhere, revolving around the lives of 'Blanche', who lacks personal stability, and 'Lea', who is free from the world's sorrows, and the problems and issues these two face with their boyfriends. Rohmer's style has rarely been so dignified in any other film. He has confidently created the character of Blanche, which I can boldly say is a very rare role in cinema. It is an interesting mix of the base desires and self-restraint and control. This character should be added to the grand gallery of unconventional women in the history of cinema. 'The Boyfriend of My Girlfriend' is a beautiful and memorable film.
