My Night at Maud's (French: Ma nuit chez Maud) is a 1969 French drama film by Éric Rohmer. It is the third film (fourth in order of release) in his series of Six Moral Tales.
Synopsis
The Catholic Jean-Louis, (Jean-Louis Trintignant), runs into an old friend, the Marxist Vidal (Antoine Vitez), in Clermont-Ferrand around Christmas. Vidal introduces Jean-Louis to the modestly libertine, recently divorced Maud (Françoise Fabian) and the three engage in conversation on religion, atheism, love, morality and Blaise Pascal's life and writings on philosophy, faith and mathematics. Jean-Louis ends up spending a night at Maud's. Jean-Louis' Catholic views on marriage, fidelity and obligation make his situation a dilemma, as he has already, at the very beginning of the film, proclaimed his love for a young woman whom, however, he has never yet spoken to.Actors

Frédéric (Bernard Verley), a young, successful lawyer, is happily married to Hélène (Françoise Verley), an English teacher, and father to one child with another on the way. Still, something eats away at him. While going through his day, Frédéric begins to ponder the times before he was married, when he was free to be with any woman he wanted and could feel the deep satisfaction of anticipation while he chased them. At one point in the film, he has an elaborate fantasy where he possesses a magical amulet that causes all women to bow to his will (the sequence features actresses from previous "Moral Tales"). These thoughts do not distress Frédéric though, as he sees these ideas as a reflection of how true his love to his wife is.

Vivant avec leur famille dans un petit bourg campagnard du centre de la France nommé « Malevil », le maire, le pharmacien, des cultivateurs, commerçants, une vieille femme et un simple d'esprit se réunissent dans une grande cave viticole pour débattre d'un banal sujet administratif, un beau jour ensoleillé à la fin de l'été. Soudain, le petit poste de radio qu'écoute le benêt ne capte plus aucune fréquence. Quelques instants plus tard, une considérable explosion retentit ainsi qu'un violent et long éclair qu'ils aperçoivent sous la porte d'entrée. Le bruit, la chaleur intense, l'humidité qui suinte des murs les assomment tous.

Un professeur d'université, Alexandre Lenski, est arrêté par la police soviétique parce qu'il est chrétien. Son interrogatoire porte d'abord sur des accusations de prosélytisme, dont il se défend habilement. Petit à petit, la pression monte et les soutiens sur lesquels il aurait pu s'appuyer lui font défaut l'un après l'autre. Il en est de même pour tous jusqu'aux gens d'Église (Père Serge et Frère Jean) qui sont du côté des interrogateurs. À la fin, le professeur se met à genoux et récite son Credo devant ses tortionnaires, avant d'être emmené en hôpital psychiatrique.

The film begins with a drunken and downtrodden Catholic priest telling his story to a sympathetic bartender (Brian George). Father Brian Finn (Edward Norton) has been dedicated to his calling since he was a child and now shares the duties of a New York parish with an older priest, Fr. Havel (Miloš Forman). Rabbi Jacob "Jake" Schram (Ben Stiller), best friends with Brian since childhood, is the youngest rabbi at his Conservative synagogue; his lack of effort to find a Jewish wife often results in his mother, Ruth (Anne Bancroft) and other women of his congregation setting him up on blind dates, much to his dismay. The two men show a close bond, even in their professions, where the two are planning the opening of a jointly sponsored community center. In its earlier days, the friendship included a third party. Via flashbacks and reminiscent musings, Anna Reilly (Jenna Elfman) is introduced: she met Jake and Brian in middle school, after beating up a bully who was picking on them. The three became great friends, and enjoyed their childhood together. Unfortunately, Anna's father got a new job that resulted in the Reillys moving to California, and ultimately she lost touch with Brian and Jake.

She meets Léa at lunch one day, and soon she meets an acquaintance of Léa, Alexandre, who she approaches somewhat awkwardly. The movie then follows the time-honored plot of exchange of relationships, as Blanche and Lea switch boyfriends.The name L'ami de mon amie would then literally mean the friend (male) of my friend (female) or perhaps the boyfriend of my girlfriend, ami meaning friend, boyfriend in this case, and amie being the female of the word ami with the same general and intended meanings.
