Autumn Tale, An (1998)

  • Rohmer, Eric
  • 1998, Eric Rohmer, France
  • Leave a comment

A winner of Best Screenplay at Venice, Rohmer’s final ‘Four Seasons’ entry is an incisive and revelatory take on finding romance at a much older age, featuring two outstanding performances by Marie Riviere and Beatrice Romand.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Rendezvous in Paris (1995)

  • Rohmer, Eric
  • 1995, Eric Rohmer, France
  • Leave a comment

Three quite indelible stories about people in love (or not) as coincidences threaten to derail their intimate intentions in this charming Rohmerian comedy set around the beautiful spaces of Paris.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Tale of Winter, A (1992)

  • Rohmer, Eric
  • 1992, Eric Rohmer, France
  • 1 Comment

There is a sense of both melancholy and hope in this strong effort by Rohmer as he fashions a drama about the unwavering faith of a single mother who believes in her own idiosyncratic conception of love. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Tree, the Mayor and the Mediatheque, The (1993)

  • Rohmer, Eric
  • 1993, Eric Rohmer, France
  • Leave a comment

This is one of Rohmer’s more styleless films, though it is inherently more political than most of his output as he intellectualises the nature of political ecology, which may occasionally if unexpectedly come across as a tad dry.    

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3 out of 5.

Tale of Springtime, A (1990)

  • Rohmer, Eric
  • 1990, Eric Rohmer, France
  • 2 Comments

Rohmer’s decent first entry in his ‘Four Seasons’ anthology may seem bright and airy, if only to serve as a direct contrast to the undercurrents of discord and antipathy among loved ones and acquaintances. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Four Adventures of Reinette and Mirabelle (1987)

  • Rohmer, Eric
  • 1987, Eric Rohmer, France
  • Leave a comment

A delightful Rohmer omnibus as four short films featuring the two titular characters—one a countryside girl, the other a city girl—give us an intellectual if light-hearted take on how independent women can thrive in a manipulative society. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Perceval (1978)

  • Rohmer, Eric
  • 1978, Eric Rohmer, France
  • 1 Comment

Shot like a stage play on a minimalist set, Rohmer’s experiment with narration and storytelling about a man who dreams of becoming one of King Arthur’s knights is interesting but may be a tad too long.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Marquise of O, The (1976)

  • Rohmer, Eric
  • 1976, Eric Rohmer, France, West Germany
  • 2 Comments

An anomaly in Rohmer’s filmography, this beautiful if minimalist period costume drama about a woman who doesn’t know how she got pregnant feels like a stage exercise rather than an embracing, organic work.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Claire’s Knee (1970)

  • Criterion Collection, Rohmer, Eric
  • 1970, Eric Rohmer, France
  • Leave a comment

Arguably Rohmer’s most iconic ‘moral tale’—the plot of an older man’s fetish for a teenage girl’s bare knee makes for great philosophical musings about the nature of lust and love.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Sign of Leo, The (1962)

  • Rohmer, Eric
  • 1962, Eric Rohmer, France
  • Leave a comment

Rohmer’s first feature might not have been as lauded as his counterparts’ more groundbreaking works, but its exploration of luck (or lack thereof) through one man’s misery was arguably the closest a French New Wave film had been to acknowledging its neorealist influences.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.
