Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Hitchcoc The first of "The Six Moral Tales" is taut and somewhat uneventful. Man is a selfish cad. Man falls in love from a distance but loses track of the young woman. His encounters with the bakery girl in question move toward an acknowledgment that second best is better than nothing. Hearts are broken and feelings hurt. The strength of the film is not in any recognizable plot but in the camera work of the alleyways of the setting. Everything is set in a kind of microcosm where all the principles are pushed together. It's almost as if there are no other streets in the city. The young man is so unlikeable and yet so driven as to continue to go to the little bakery and buy the same thing day after day, hoping to gain sight of his missing target. I agree with previous reviewers that this was probably practice for the great director. A little, inconsequential foray into serious filmmaking.

cronostitan Yes but not, sorry... The chap so much looks old man-game, hoisted otherwise downright prig, whom we can only look at this movie with one certain unhealthy curiosity ! Of course there is highly-rated charming one resulted from the vintage heroines of the narrative and we could return on highly-rated heroic of all the dredgers and seducers of the world, but Rohmer does not make so much effort to look after the personality of his characters that the set seems finally all the same very dated, and I do not even speak about it has no sense of humor characteristic total moreover of the style of this director. Even if its true down in France, off the park of Monceau, we'd see from time to time people of this kind near the most beautiful avenue in the world...

MartinHafer This is a short film by Eric Rohmer--and the first of his six so-called 'Morality Tales'. Unlike some of his later films, this one seems much more like a typical French New Wave film--with its unusual camera work (looking more like an amateur film at times), use of natural settings and unusual style."The Bakery Girl of Monceau" begins with a young man noticing a pretty lady as he walked to college. He's interested in her but they don't know each other at all--and he's working up the courage to talk to her. Eventually, he bumps into her and they talk a bit. He asks her out for coffee but she declines--but tells him she'd be willing in the future. The problem, however, is that for some time he returns to his daily route and doesn't see her. Instead, however, he becomes interested in a girl who works in a bakery. What will become of this and will the original girl return? While I know that many love Rohmer and New Wave films, this one seems like it's more a practice film than a finished product. It's incredibly mundane--to the point of almost being banal. Because of this, it's not for the casual viewer--and a film that is really impossible to rate.

eusepj I am fairly disappointed with the Criterion DVD "The Bakery Girl of Monceau". Actually, to be perfectly honest, I'm extremely disappointed. At about 53 seconds into the movie, a large speck appears at the bottom of the screen, halfway between the middle of the screen and the right edge of the screen. Whatever it is, it looks like a bunch of hair or some sort of bug, it's hard to tell which. This speck, eventually, disappears at approximately 5:14 minutes. It reappears at ± 5:31 minutes then disappears until almost the end of the movie when it reappears.As if that wasn't bad enough, a few times during the movie, the bottom of the screen is washed out. The best way to describe it is when you're printing a negative and there is light leakage, in the enlarger, at the bottom of the negative.My Fox Lorber copy of The Bakery Girl of Monceau, which cost a lot less than Criterion's did, does not have any specks at the bottom of the screen and has no washed out bottom edge. As much as I hate to admit it, the Fox Lorber copy, although less sharp, looks better. I bought the Criterion version of the "Six Moral Tales" because I was under the wrong impression that Criterion strives to offer a better, superior, unsurpassed product. Obviously, as I just found out, this is not the case.I've sent 4 e-mails to Criterion about this problem and - two weeks later - nobody has bothered to reply.
