Boyfriends and Girlfriends (1987)

  • Rohmer, Eric
  • 1987, Eric Rohmer, France

The last of Rohmer’s ‘Comedies & Proverbs’ series is a gratifying watch on what it means to fall in love—or break up—with friends and lovers. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Green Ray, The (1986)

  • Rohmer, Eric
  • 1986, Eric Rohmer, France
  • Leave a comment

Probably the finest of Rohmer’s ‘Comedies & Proverbs’ series—a sublime, psychologically rich work about the emotional struggles to be open to romantic relationships yet it is also about being free and finding thyself. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Pauline at the Beach (1983)

  • Rohmer, Eric
  • 1983, Eric Rohmer, France
  • 1 Comment

Rohmer plays an elaborate, frolicky game of relationship misunderstandings and coverups in his third ‘Comedies & Proverbs’ series, as most of the characters try to make sense—with sheer incompetence—what the meaning of love is.   

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Good Marriage, A (1982)

  • Rohmer, Eric
  • 1982, Eric Rohmer, France
  • 1 Comment

Rohmer’s second ‘Comedies & Proverbs’ film is one of his more straightforward affairs as it dissects with nuance why some people are obsessed with marriage, while others are simply disinterested.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Summer’s Tale, A (1996)

  • Rohmer, Eric
  • 1996, Eric Rohmer, France
  • Leave a comment

The romantic complications of a young man and three women are laid bare in this naturalistic and minimalist entry from Rohmer’s ‘Tale of the Four Seasons’ series.

⭐⭐⭐⭐
