Occasionally dismissed as precious or overly literary, Rohmers features may leave the impression that there is more to listen to than to look at. Yet as the secretive director (b. Maurice Schérer 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 heroes of the stories they tell.Charges of political conservatism aside, the author of My Night at Mauds, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51959519805728,"sku":"NEW0719072352","price":26.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/eric-rohmer-french-film-directors-series-0719072352","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
