Part of Philosophy & Film
The fourth in Rohmer's Moral Tales series, My Night with Maud tells the story of a chaste and conservative thirty-something, who sees a woman that he believes will be his perfect match whilst attending church. But when he unwittingly spends the night at the apartment of the worldly and spirited divorcée Maud, he finds the moral certainties of his life are suddenly thrown into question.
Showing as part of both our reRUN and Philosophy & Film strands, this film was selected by Helen Stewart, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy (University of Leeds), who will give a short talk after the screening.
