Winner of the Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival, the film centres on 5 characters who meet, eat, drink, dance, talk, make love, swim, windsurf and argue about love. Rohmer’s films combine images, language, action and cinematic narrative fluidity to create a kind of cinema that no one else has ever done before.

2009 marks the 50^th anniversary of one of the most significant movements in the history of cinema, the French New Wave. To celebrate, we have decided to run a season of films from one of the lesser known great filmmakers of this revolutionary movement: Eric Rohmer.

"One of the most extraordinary directorial careers in the history of cinema" - SIGHT AND SOUND

This season would not have been possible without the support of the Institut Francais and CulturesFrance.
