might be a good start, but if you think you're going to stick around for more, put off 5. Of his films on the four seasons, I think I like Conte de printemps best.

I actually like this one a lot. Great photography of snowy French streets in the Old Town by the late great Nestor Almendros.

I might watch Conte d'Automne again, if I manage to see Sideways.
Here is a detailed review: Magical Realism in Conte d'automne (Autumn Tale, 1998).

"Summer (Le Rayon Vert)" is transcendent, his best of the last 25 years. And Melvil Poupaud in "A Summer's Tale" is just sex on legs.
"Triple Agent" is quite moribund, alas.

Anyone seen the new one that's going to be at the NYFF? Being called his last in the fest blurb.

Shit I hadn't heard this. I guess at age 87 it might be time to let go.
― baaderonixx, Wednesday, 29 August 2007 08:05 (sixteen years ago) link
That's too bad, but I guess he's up there age-wise. It's a ridiculous proposition, but when people ask me who my favorite director is, it's always a toss-up between Rohmer and Bunuel. There's something appealing to me about his ethical depth and quiet, personal storytelling style. Also, I love his total lack of flash when compared to his contemporaries.
― Bill in Chicago, Wednesday, 29 August 2007 15:36 (sixteen years ago) link
Oh, I haven't seen the Chris Rock remake of Chloe in the Afternoon. I'm afraid to mostly because no crazy electronic score means no Chloe in the Afternoon.
― Bill in Chicago, Wednesday, 29 August 2007 15:38 (sixteen years ago) link
Hah yeah - that title sequence of 'Chloe'...

Never thought "if only real people spoke more like people in movies" more than when I watched one of his films.

Actually, I made the mistake of thinking real French people DID talk like that, and bought a very expensive plane ticket to find out they talked more like the worst moments of Diva.

Although even the street people in France used fancy words like "désolée" instead of "sorry."

we all know that nrq can't relate Rohmer to "his culture"

I really do intend to watch one of his movies, if not tonight, then sometime in my life. Gotta start sometime, right?

I remember Tarantino saying in the mid 90s he wanted to do a pseudo-Rohmer film, let's hope to God that never happens

which rohmer does the august ilx film dude recommend for young impressionable nouvelle vague come-lately here?

Yeah, he should leave that stuff for Rick Linklater, Motbius.
I'm not putting you down for that, Eric.
Les nuits de la pleine luneWas just checking on Fabrice Luchini to see if anybody was left standing from that one.
