Le film est un brin iconoclaste, ce qui n'était pas si courant dans ces années 60 mais après tout en 1967, on n'était pas si loin de "mai 68" et de la révolte des jeunes en mal de sexe, de drogue et de musique de merde.

D'ailleurs parlons-en de la musique, absolument insupportable et répétée ad nauseam pendant tout le film... de quoi filer une migraine carabinée. Et puis si Dustin Hoffman est parfaitement à l'aise dans sa petite Alfa rouge (il vaut mieux en effet ne pas dépasser 1,60 m pour ne pas dépasser du pare-brise) ça reste un vilain petit canard à l'image de ce personnage falot et indécis qui ne sait pas vraiment ce qu'il veut...

Et pourtant, après s'être tapé la mère, il se dit qu'emballer la fille ne serait pas une mauvaise idée finalement. Du coup, la maman est un peu vénère. Pour le reste, on reste... dans une sorte de bluette nunuche et faussement irrévérencieuse, une espèce de bouquin Harlequin très con-con et trop ennuyeux pour qu'on s'y amuse... même au second ou troisième degré.… Expand

Honestly, I spent my whole life hearing about this film and how important it was as an industry milestone movie, but I never saw it. I finally watched it and honestly I was blown away.

I finally watched it and honestly I was blown away. The cinematography and editing alone is flawless and innovative even by modern standards. The story line is as captivating now as it was then and the acting is so natural and fluid. If you are a Wes Anderson fan you must see this because he nods this direction countless times in his movies. Believe the hype on this one, it is the real deal.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Honestly, this movie starts slowly (there's very little plot for the first hour) and I was hoping for some pay off in the last 45 minutes, but no! It makes very little sense.

Mrs. Robinson accuse him of rape, and her daughter Elaine is happy to walk into his bedroom and shut the door behind her, and is convinced it's not rape after he says one sentence. Her husband also enters Ben's bedroom and his polite to Ben, where a more believable reaction would be to punch him in the face and call the police. Why is Mrs. Robinson so against Ben dating her daughter in the first place? We never find out.

The characters actually have no depth (Mrs. Robinson's really just a sex object). It's actually badly written and badly directed.… Expand
