Charlotte et Véronique, ou Tous les garçons s'appellent Patrick (1959) *****

Written by Eric Rohmer and directed by Jean-Luc Godard, it's a short film about flirting, loving and double-timing in Paris. A perfect little gem - clever, unpretentious and superbly well acted. Veronique and Charlotte are roommates and best friends. One day, they are both picked up by the same young playboy and later they talk about him at length, not realizing they've fallen in love with the same guy.
