You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.175.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 March 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Love in the Afternoon''''' (((lang-fr|'''L'Amour l'après-midi''')); released in North America as '''''Chloe in the Afternoon''''') is a 1972 French [[Romance film|romantic]] [[comedy-drama]] film written and directed by [[Éric Rohmer]]. It is the sixth and final installment in Rohmer's ''[[Six Moral Tales]]'' series.

An English-language remake starring [[Chris Rock]], titled ''[[I Think I Love My Wife]]'', was released in 2007. Singer-songwriter [[St. Vincent (musician)|St. Vincent]] named the opening song of her 2011 album, ''[[Strange Mercy]]'', after the film.<ref>((cite web|author=Ryan Dombal|date=13 September 2011|title=St. Vincent: Strange Mercy|url=https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/15813-strange-mercy/|website=Pitchfork))</ref>

==Plot==
Frédéric, the young and successful partner in a Paris business firm, is happily married to Hélène, 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, 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 "Six Moral Tales" instalments). These thoughts do not distress Frédéric, though, as he sees these ideas as a reflection of how true his love to his wife is.

One day, Chloé, a woman from Frédéric's past, stops by his office, hungry and homeless. Chloé had once been the girlfriend of an old friend of Frédéric's, and had caused this friend a great deal of grief. At first Frédéric believes Chloé only wants cash and company, but over time, as she tries a series of jobs to attempt some type of solidity in her life, to the increasing amusement of the secretaries in Frédéric's office, the two begin spending afternoons together, talking of many things Frédéric finds himself unable to talk to his wife about. He enjoys the pleasures of an attractive mistress without the guilt of adultery, while she has a man who will do whatever she wants without needing sex.

After the birth of Frédéric's second child, Chloé decides she, too, needs a child to give focus to her aimless existence and, while she has no desire to be tied in marriage, that Frédéric must be the father. He ponders whether to stay with the faithful wife he loves greatly or whether to launch into the unknown with a woman for whom he feels a strange deep passion. A decision is precipitated when Chloé summons him to her latest address and, when he arrives, she is in the bath. Emerging, she invites him to towel her dry, which he does, and then calls him to her bed. Leaving her naked and waiting, he flees out of the apartment. When he goes home to Hélène and asks to spend the afternoon with her, she breaks down in tears. He comforts her, and they go to their bedroom.

==Reception==
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 91% based on reviews from 22 critics. The site's consensus states "''Chloe in the Afternoon'' doesn't need sparkly cinematic dross to discover unspoken, universal truths about relationships and love through filmmaking".<ref>((cite web |title=Chloe in the Afternoon |website=[[Rotten Tomatoes]] |publisher=[[Fandango Media]] |url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/chloe_in_the_afternoon  |access-date=30 October 2020))</ref>

[[Roger Ebert]] of the ''Chicago Sun-Times'' gave it 4 out 4 stars, calling it the best of Rohmer's "[[Éric Rohmer#1962–1972: Six Moral Tales and television work|Six Moral Tales]]" series, and adding:<blockquote>It is also the most fully rounded, lacking the one-dimensional tone of some of his earlier tales. It's as if he were striking notes in the previous works, and is now bringing them all together into a chord; the final scene in "Chloe" is his last comment on the series, and Rohmer is telling us to, for god's sake, stop playing games and embrace each other with honesty.<ref>((cite web |date=28 December 1972 |first=Roger |last=Ebert |author-link=Roger Ebert |title=Chloe in the Afternoon |website=[[Chicago Sun-Times]] |url=https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/chloe-in-the-afternoon-1972 |access-date=30 October 2020))</ref></blockquote>[[Vincent Canby]] of the ''New York Times'' gave the film a positive review, writing "because Mr. Rohmer keeps his focus short, clear and precise, one sees deeply into the lives of his characters without the sort of pretentious distortions of most movies that deal in metaphors".<ref>((cite web |date=30 September 1972 |last=Canby |first=Vincent |author-link=Vincent Canby |title=Film Festival: Eric Rohmer's 'Chloe in the Afternoon' (Published 1972) |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1972/09/30/archives/film-festival-eric-rohmers-chloe-in-the-afternoon.html |website=[[The New York Times]]))</ref>

In contrast, [[Pauline Kael]] wrote "it had evaporated a half hour after I saw it. It’s about as forgettable as a movie can be."[https://www.indiewire.com/gallery/pauline-kael-best-reviews/mpw-119822/]
