I think Rohmer was a great director. In L’Amour l’après-midi, it is not morality that triumphs, but love. When the protagonist, charmed by the always alluring Zouzou, begins to take off his turtleneck sweater, the same one he had used for playing with his infant son earlier, he realizes that the price for this afternoon of pleasure - betraying his love for his wife and children - is simply too high.
