Excellent introduction to Rohmer's films, toutes les histoires sont grandes! - By: Ivo, 14 Jun 2007
Spanning almost a decade of Rohmer's work, these films encapsulate his focus on moral messages to us alll. Each film is delightful in its own way, 'en ete' & 'en hiver' complement each other by focusing mainly around the (mainly romantic) relationships of four characters, whilst 'Printemps' & 'd'automne' have more developed plotlines & are more rewarding as such due to the richly developed characters.
In this way, the most interesting of alll the films is 'Conte d'Automne' purely because of the focus on the two excellent female leads. The story focuses on Isabelle who takes it upon herself to find a date for her friend Magali who runs a vineyard. A large part of the film takes place over the stunning landscape of Magali's business & enhances the conversations & interactions between the characters. My favourite however has to be 'Conte d'ete' because of Gaspard's initial outlook on his life & how this is altered through meeting Margot & their many coastal wanderings & discussions throughout his summer stay. The backdrop of Brittany's beaches & coastal paths also raises the beauty of the piece.
Well worth a viewing, toute l'annee ronde!
