Eric Rohmer: C/D

It's got all the films, all the shorts and the various bits of TV docu stuff he did early on in his career. There's also a whole disc of shorts directed by his stable of (young, female) students (creepy?) from the mid 90's onwards.

cool, will be looking out for that...

is it this one? http://www.potemkine.fr/Potemkine-film/Coffret-eric-rohmer-l-integrale-coffret-eric-rohmer-l-integrale/pa61m3f210.html

watched Claire's Knee recently. first Rohmer I've seen. Didn't like it at all. are all of his movies just boring horny men talking forever?

I cannot tell a lie.

That's one of his least likable protagonists.

I highly recommend checking out The Green Ray, one of my favourite films ever. It's quite different.

That's part of the Six Moral Tales, although I wouldn't quite characterize it as boring horny men talking forever, (it's also 'you better marry that blonde and forget that brunette') it's more like that than his other films. People still talk forever though.

... Claire's Knee not The Green Ray, that is.

Eric Rohmer's Horny Commiseration Conversation Cycle

lol

I think it's worth watching the Six Moral Tales in order to see the progression in his filmmaking

Not that The Green Ray isn't horny and miserable in its own way.

yeah I wasn't sure how to approach the Moral Tales, only one I had heard of was Claire's Knee and was thinking of just hopscotching around the rest of them. I'll check out The Green Ray next

tbh all I kept thinking was "french woody allen... french woody allen... french woody allen..." although it's maybe closer to Linklater's Before trilogy? (which I love)

Sad horny men thinking they are about to make serious moral choices, while in fact the women are doing all the choosing

he has lots of female leads?

I'm curious what's in an Eric Rohmer surprise pouch

(xp) Not in the Six Moral Tales.

XP It was flavored tea, iirc.

Yeah two teabags, some postcards and a Claire’s knee poster

Is that to do with the tea scene in Night at Maud's?

although it's maybe closer to Linklater's Before trilogy?

Keep Rohmer far away from that shit.

oooooooooooh!!

OK, The Bakery Girl of Monceau really pulled me in. I rented Suzanne's Career and My Night at Maud's today, excited to go through them + IV & VI + eventually revisit Claire's Knee.

I finally saw The Green Ray 💚

The movie or the phenomenon?

💚

it's on the criterion channel, I'm planning on watching it

the movie 😔

Green Ray's wonderful. Love the story about how they had to wait a whole year to get the titular image on film because it didn't happen the year they were actually filming.

at last -- I've wanted to watch Autumn Tale again for two decades.

Rohmer series running on MUBI right now. Did anyone read the bio? Reviews made it seem interesting.

I've read a biography, not sure if there's more than one? His life isn't really that interesting tbh!

Worth the wait!.

autumn tale is on mubi uk right now

I like A Summer's Tale even more

ok but it isn't on mubi

but it is!
https://mubi.com/films/a-summers-tale

Mubi has 5 Rohmer's (The 4 Seasons Tales + LA COLLECTIONNEUSE which is great.)

BFI has 7 https://player.bfi.org.uk/search/subscription?q=rohmer&availability=1

^not in the US :(

For either. HBO Max has a few though.

MUBI US often doesn’t have a lot of stuff you guys have and for the other we get some kind of subset, BFI Player Classics.

Mark is in the UK though. He didn't move thar far afaik!

James Redd - You guys get the Criterion channel though and I bet Mubi US has lots of great stuff we don't get.

summer's tale is on amazon prime mubi uk but not on o/g mubi

I just linked to it on the real mubi uk!

o/g mubi is 29-films-in-29-days mubi

Wait you guys don’t get Criterion?

Does that version of o/g MUBI still exist?

Criterion Rohmer selection okay at the moment. MUBI US has an interesting Maurice Pialat series going on right now.

it exists on my phone

the other bits are on my phone with it but i DISDANE them
