I’m a big fan of endings. I can forgive many a problematic film that manages to move or provoke me with the ending. I chugged through Chloe in the Afternoon, mildly engaged by the tiny brilliant things only Rohmer can do (Chloe sees all women except the wife as a threat and is constantly testing the protagonist’s attraction to his secretaries, etc.) But the ending tore out my heart and gave it wings. I cried. A lot. (I cry too much.)
