The Bakery Girl of Monceau

In Éric Rohmer's early new wave effort "The Bakery Girl of Monceau", a young law student falls for a charming baker girl named Jacqueline, but his affections are soon diverted to Sylvie, a beautiful woman he meets in the neighborhood bakery after she breaks her ankle. As he navigates his complicated feelings, the film expertly explores themes of class, subjectivity, love, and free will, ultimately leading to a choice that will determine the course of his life - and that of those around him.
