Directed by Eric Rohmer

Among the most singular, miraculous bodies of work in all of cinema, the films of French auteur Eric Rohmer constitute a genre unto themselves. Gently existential, hyperarticulate character studies set against vivid seasonal landscapes, these dialogue-driven yet gracefully cinematic films probe universal moral questions about love, desire, and the intricacies of connection with wry humor and an invitingly relaxed naturalism. From the wintry philosophical parable MY NIGHT AT MAUD’S to the sublime summertime melancholy of THE GREEN RAY to the autumnal emotional maturity of LOVE IN THE AFTERNOON, his work is evergreen in its piercing insight into human contradiction and folly.
