Many consider the 1986 Le Rayon vert to be the best film Rohmer ever made. (Andrew Sarris, then film critic at our sister paper Village Voice, called it the best movie of the year.) Rivère appears as Delphine, a young woman who can’t find a man. She meets and rejects one after another; most seem to viewers to be perfectly suitable as companions, but she finds serious fault with them all.
4 aventures, released in 1987, features four episodes focused on two young women who are roommates in Paris and the series of offbeat characters they meet in their daily lives. La Rayon vert screens at 7 p.m. Friday and 5 p.m. Saturday; 4 aventures screens at 7 p.m. Saturday and 5 p.m. Sunday. Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, 1001 Bissonnet.
