In ALL THE BOYS ARE CALLED PATRICK, Charlotte (Anne Colette) and Véronique (Nicole Berger) are roommates who share a tiny flat with a single bed. Charlotte’s taste in books ranges from Hegel to The Fate of the Immodest Blonde, while Véronique is a law student who keeps up with current events. Over the course of an afternoon, both are separately accosted by a pick-up artist named Patrick, who manages to fast-talk them into dates — until a poorly timed kiss torpedoes his plans. Written by Éric Rohmer and directed by Jean-Luc Godard, the film is full of fun visuals, including a newspaper whose front-page headline is the Truffaut line, “French Cinema Is Dying Under False Legends.”
