Product Description
On holiday in Brittany, Parisian hairdresser Félicie has an idyllic romance that results in the birth of her daughter, Elise. Through a mix-up over her address, she loses touch with Elise's father, Charles, and becomes obsessed with the lost love of her life. She finds it impossible to settle with another man and wavers between two unsatisfactory relationships, while holding onto the dream that Charles may one day return. The second in Eric Rohmer's 'Tales of the Four Seasons' is a charming love story with the compelling quality of a fairy tale.

Synopsis
Following an idyllic holiday, complete with romance, Felicie finds herself pregnant with a daughter. The dream comes to a premature end, however, when due to a mix-up, Felicie loses touch with the father. She soon becomes obsessed with her lost love, and dreams of the day that he returns...

4.0 out of 5 stars "Please make up your mind!", 13 Jun 2006
By Bel Alcat "bel_78" (Buenos Aires, Argentina) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
"Tale of winter" ("Compte d'hiver") is part of Eric Rohmer's "Tales of the four seasons", and probably my favourite film by this director.

The main character is Felicie (Charlotte Véry), a young woman that had a beautiful summer affair with Charles (Frédéric van den Driessche) during her holidays. They want to meet again, but due to a mistake that Felicie makes, that doesn't happen.

Five years after that holidays, we see that Felicie has a tangible way to remember Charles, her little daughter (Ava Loraschi). Felicie lives with her mother and her daughter in Paris, and has two lovers. She can't decide whether she wants to be with Maxence (Michael Voletti), a hairdresser, or to Loic (Hervé Furic), an intellectual. The real reason for her lack of commitment is that Felicie is still in love with Charles, even though she hasn't seen him in five years. But can she continue loving someone that isn't there for here?

On the whole, I can say that I really liked this movie. I found it engaging, and I liked the long dialogues. Truth to be told, at times Felicie was so indecisive that she made me want to shout "please make up your mind". All the same, the ending of "Tale of winter" more than makes up for that little problem. That is the reason why I strongly recommend this film to you :)

5.0 out of 5 stars buzzy tingly film. , 27 Mar 2008
Watched this film last night and it has been in my thoughts today lots of times from different angles. It takes philosophy into daily life in a very natural and quirky way. Fun. DVD extra -interview with the director is also very interesting.

3.0 out of 5 stars Average effort by Rohmer, with improbable happy ending, 19 Aug 2008
By Andres C. Salama (Buenos Aires, Argentina) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Tale of Winter is an average effort by Rohmer, not his best by any means. Basically, the story is about Felicie, a Parisian beautician, who had a torrid romance with a man called Charles during one summer. Unfortunately, at the time of saying goodbye to each other, Felicie inadvertently gave Charles a wrong address, so they are unable to meet again. The movie then moves on to five years later, and what has remained of that romance is a photo of Charles and a five year old daughter born of that fleeting relation. Felicie is at the moment having to decide between two boyfriends: Loic, a Catholic intellectual, or Maxence, a somewhat older hairdresser. She is unconvinced between the two, longing for Charles to reappear in her life, but that would take a miracle, right? Or at least a deus ex machina as in the titular Shakespeare play. Her indecisiveness reminds us of the character played in "Le Rayon Vert" by Marie Riviere (who has a cameo role in a crucial scene here). The problem with this movie is that the protagonist is not very likable. She is somewhat pretty, but she is also tiresome and somewhat unstable, and the spectators may at times not be going through very pleasant times. And while there is a happy ending, it's not terribly convincing given the circumstances.
