The Catholic Jean-Louis runs into an old friend, the Marxist Vidal, in Clermont-Ferrand around Christmas. Vidal introduces Jean-Louis to the modestly libertine, recently divorced Maud and the three engage in conversation on religion, atheism, love, morality and Blaise Pascal's life and writings on philosophy, faith and mathematics. Jean-Louis ends up spending a night at Maud's. Jean-Louis' Catholic views on marriage, fidelity and obligation make his situation a dilemma, as he has already, at the very beginning of the film, proclaimed his love for a young woman whom, however, he has never yet spoken to.

I don't think seemingly endless debates about philosophy, religion, and even mathematics make for a movie that is particularly my thing. And “My Night at Maud's” is exactly that for long stretches. When the titular night at Maud's begins, things do get a little more interesting, but the subsequent debates about morality and sex aren't exactly captivating either. The second half of the film does not change much, and the main character Jean-Louis remains rather unsympathetic and boring until the end. There is undoubtedly an audience for films like this, but it's not me.

I have to admit that I didn't follow all of the conversation in regards to math and faith. I think I got what they were saying and at times it seemed like the debates went on needlessly. What I found really interesting about this movie is that despite all of the intellectual banter between the two leads the movie ultimately boiled down to fairly childish interactions between them when it came to their emotions. Also, the female lead has unbelievable charisma. I really enjoyed every scene that she was in. follow me at https://IHATEBadMovies.com or facebook IHATEBadMovies

First half was boring. Second half was ok. Barely. I don't get what made it worthy of an oscar nomination...

The most intellectual script, Maud's character is very interesting even though she had very little to work with
