The Green Ray

Posted onJanuary 25, 2023May 7, 2025AuthorArts & Faith

Before My Night at Maud’s became the routine representative of Rohmer’s work at Arts & Faith, The Green Ray had its moments of being favored. The story of a young woman being disenchanted with the way society treats singles might, perhaps, speak more pointedly to Read More …
