Film Eric Rohmer

Posted by on Mon, Jan 11, 2010 at 10:09 AM

The French New Wave director is dead at 89.

He leaves behind a huge body of work, including Ma nuit chez Maud, which is as good a place to start as any if you're interested. And if you like directors like Linklater, Hartley, or, hell, even Kevin Smith, you should be interested.

(Via Dr. Mabuse (Edward Champion) on Twitter.)

Am I a philistine if I don't know any of the directors listed?

I really liked Chloe in the Afternoon. I didn't know he'd been so active in the last two decades.

damn, I was waiting for his next trilogy. hear it was going to be the colors of Italy's flag this time. Or Poland's - not sure which.

used to be, way back when, the anticipation of one of his films was immense.

Aren't you confusing him with Kristof Kyslovski?
