when I was a teenager: Pierrot Le Fou; Alphaville; Breathless. But now, the amateurism for amateurism's sake has lost its charm and he just appears.... "cute." And the dialogue of many of the films strives to be intellectual, deep, and insightful--- but it's just dull. Grad student musings w/out benefit of lots of booze and cigarettes just ain't the same.
I enjoy some of his films, still, but nowhere near what I did. Rohmer and Truffaut we strongly agree on. I also like Shroeder who starred in Rohmer's first film (Monceau Bakery Girl (or something similar) before going onto to become his own helmsman (Our Lady of the Assassins; Reversal of Fortune).
