or so I heard.... (it worked last year)

or you can Venmo me your money and I'll see about getting you access.

(Youth and age make one vulnerable (from naivete or nostalgia). This is incurred as life experience and observed with pathos held in reserve and without intrusion or judgment, not sardonically or cruelly and if familiar not overly so but with fondness and keenness for experience.)

I don't have the services mentioned, but I have these films on DVD.

FWIW I quite like these seasonal tales and I think I enjoy Summer best.

I have them on dvd too

I don't subscribe, but I noticed that Metrograph's streaming service ($5/month or $50/year) has three Rohmer films: "The Aviator's Wife," "Boyfriends and Girlfriends," and "Four Adventures of Reinette and Mirabelle." It sounds like you can cancel your membership anytime, so you could just watch all their streaming stuff for one month for $5. Pretty interesting selection: https://metrograph.com/at-home/

"Four Adventures of Reinette and Mirabelle." is my fave Rohmer. Indeed, one of my fave films by anybody.

Tales of the Four Seasons streaming on Criterion Channel.

god I love Melvil Poupaud.

If my favourite Rohmer isn't La Collectioneuse, it's one of the medieval films. The appeal of the rest escapes me, it's pleasant at best.

Could never get into the costumed ones at all (except maybe Triple Agent). They seemed to miss the point of what made his films great - eg the minute dissection of every fray micro-dramas

The Lady and the Duke has more tension than his other films.

Love the bit in "Le Rayon Vert" where Delphine walks by a group of people discussing Jules Verne and decides to eavesdrop on them - because she heard the word "green" mentioned, I assume. It's absolutely vital to the film but it's done in such a casual way, the conversation is so natural, the people are plainly not actors. Then having the one old guy there get up and mansplain the physics of the green ray is just perfect.
