| book description |

Few filmmakers have taken the principle of the â€˜talking pictureâ€™ so far as Eric Rohmer, the internationally reknowned director of the Moral Tales, Comedies and Proverbs, and Tales of the Four Seasons cycles. Occasionally dismissed as precious or overly literary, Rohmerâ€™s features may leave the impression that there is more to listen to than to look at. Yet as the secretive director (b. Maurice SchÃ©rer in 1920) points out, dialogue is no less engaging than the best gunfights, and if his characters prefer discussing love to making it, they are no less the â€˜heroesâ€™ of the stories they tell. Charges of political conservatism aside, the author of My Night at Maudâ€™s, Summer and such period films as Perceval and the all-digital The Lady and the Duke emerges - like Hitchcock before him - as a singular inventor of cinematic forms. This critical overview, which contains an extensive bibliography and a filmography, will appeal to students of Film Studies, French Studies, and enthusiasts. -- .
