Product Description

One of the leading figures of the French nouvelle vague and a contemporary of Jean-Luc Godard, Francois Truffaut and Louis Malle, veteran filmmaker Eric Rohmer is firmly established as one of world cinema s greatest and most enduring directors. Le Signe du Lion (The Sign of Leo) Rohmer's debut feature tells the cautionary tale of a Paris-based American, born under the sign of Leo and confident that luck is on his side. In anticipation of an inheritance from a recently deceased aunt, he freely wracks up debts only to find himself in dire straits when his windfall fails to materialise. Two Moral Tales: La Boulangere de Monceau (The Girl at the Monceau Bakery) Rohmer's international reputation was made by the 'Moral Tales', an ambitious series of six films around a common theme. Filmmaker Bertrand Tavernier narrates the first, 'La Boulangere de Monceau', a charming short shot on the streets of Paris in Rohmer's trademark naturalistic style. Barbet Schroeder plays a young man whose affections are divided between two beautiful girls - one he meets on the street and another who works in a local bakery but finds himself faced with the dilemma of choosing between them. La Carriere de Suzanne (Suzanne's Career) In Rohmer's tale of adolescent naiveté, Bertrand, a shy and reserved student, finds himself consumed with jealousy and resentment as he observes his roguishly confident best friend Guillaume exploit the generosity of the sweetly seductive Suzanne.

Synopsis

Along with Jean-Luc Godard and Francois Truffaut, Eric Rohmer blazed a trail for young filmmakers in France during the late 50s/early 60s. This collection of three of the French New Wave forefather’s early films, includes LA SIGNE DU LION (1959), LA BOULANGERE DE MONCEAU (1963) and LA CARRIERE DE SUZANNE (1963).

5.0 out of 5 stars Early Gems from Rohmer, 17 Jul 2008

By	Colin C "Colin C" (Glasgow) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This newly released collection of Eric Rohmer's first full length film, alongside the two shorter films which make up the start of the 'Six Moral Tales' series, is a must-have. All three films sparkle with life, energy and filmmaking skill and imagination, and all three contain plenty of hints of what is to come later in Rohmer's career.

My favourite from this selection is probably the shortest of the three films, 'La Boulangere de Monceau (The Girl at the Monceau Bakery)', which presents a typical moral and amorous dilemma which Rohmer revisits many times later in films such as 'A Summer's Tale'. A man in love with more than one woman has to make a choice - but will his eventual love be interested in him? The themes are simple and timeless and in this little gem, about half an hour long, the atmosphere of the streets of Paris in the early 60s is used to great use.

If you're a fan of early French New Wave films by Godard, Truffaut and the like, you should give this a go. Anyone who has enjoyed Rohmer's later work ('Tales of the Four Seasons', 'Claire's Knee' etc) will also find a lot to enjoy. The prints of each film are very watchable given their age, and the extras, although not hugely generous, are informative too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great early Rohmer in black and white, 20 Oct 2009

By	Isabel Nunez "Belnu" (Espagne) - See all my reviews

To watch this extraordinary genuine Paris atmosphere of the fifties is already a great thing, it made me think in Willi Ronnies or Atget pictures. The stories are like paraboles or little poetic tales with the irony and the wit of Rohmer but differently. You would like more and more...
