The Films Of Eric Rohmer French New Wave To Old Master

the long version

Eric Rohmer was a key figure in French New Wave cinema. His death in 2010 sparked renewed interest in his diverse body of works that span films, criticism, and television work. Contributors to this volume - a mix of well-known and younger scholars of cinema - visit, revisit, complicate, and at times upend accepted readings and interpretations of perennial Rohmerian topics including the important role of language in his films, the influence of the arts, depictions of gender and class, and the roles played by space and place in his films.
