In search of inspiration, Aurora persuades Jerome to indulge in a little flirtation with Laura (Beatrice Romand), the sprightly teenage daughter of an acquaintance. However, events take a more serious turn when the diplomat finds himself falling for Laura's luminous half-sister Claire (Laurence de Managhan). Struggling to suppress his desires, Jerome decides to channel his energies into one simple act, a gentle caress of Claire's knee. Claire's Knee is one of Rohmer's most cherished works. More than simply a comedy or a drama, though it wonderfully succeeds as both, this assured and beautifully crafted film is a perceptive moral inquisition and a subtle exploration of free will and moral duty and the gulf between impulse and reason and disillusion and hope.
