4 Shots From 4 Films: Special Eric Rohmer Edition


4 (or more) Shots From 4 (or more) Films is just what it says it is, 4 (or more) shots from 4 (or more) of our favorite films. As opposed to the reviews and recaps that we usually post, 4 (or more) Shots From 4 (or more) Films lets the visuals do the talking.

101 years ago today, Eric Rohmer was born in Tulle, France.  He would go on to become one of the most popular and prolific directors of the French New Wave, continuing to make successful films even after many of his colleagues either retired or, like Godard, rejected the idea of traditional cinema.
