In a fatal slip, she gives him the wrong address, and, as a result, he disappears from her life. Five years later, at Christmas time, Félicie is a hairdresser in the Paris suburbs with a daughter (Charles’) and two lovers: the successful Maxence and the intellectual Loïc. She loves them both, but as she says, “There’s love and love,” and the love that counts is the one she still holds for the long lost Charles. The plot centers on Félicie’s shifting allegiances to the three men in her life, with an abortive move to another city, a strange experience in the cathedral of Nevers, and a performance of Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale among the stations on a roundabout journey that finally brings her face to face with the most basic issues of destiny and faith. Eric Rohmer was unsurpassed at creating intelligent romantic comedies and intelligent female characters. A Tale of Winter, one of his most genial and audacious films, is a superb example of both facets.

A NOTE ON VERSIONS The version presented here may differ from the published version. If citing, you are advised to consult the published version for pagination, volume/issue and date of publication Words for a Conversation: Speech, Doubt and Faith in the films of Eric Rohmer and Mia Hansen-Løve Introduction: Dialogue in Film On 5 April 2016, the cultural review programme La Dispute, broadcast on France Culture, reviewed Mia Hansen-Løve’s latest film , L’Avenir/ Things To Come (2016). Despite its success at the Berlin Film Festival, where it was awarded The Silver Bear, the film received a rather tepid reception on this programme. Intriguingly, the critical discussion about the film, and its perceived faults, centred on the question of its use of dialogue and then moved more generally to question whether speech is excessive in Hansen-Løve’s work. For Thierry Chèze, the key issue that Hansen-Løve’s work tackles is that of representing thought in the cinema: ‘She is once again in her comfort zone, where her films are about thought, the problem of how to show us words, how to put words onto film.’ Hansen-Løve’s fifth film, after the relative critical and audience failure of Eden (2014), returns to questions of how the predominantly visual art of cinema shows us interior process of thought and belief and their articulation in spoken debate between characters.

Eric Rohmer France / 1996 / 109 min / DCP In French, with English subtitles Aspect ratio: 1.33:1 Gaspard (Melvil Poupaud), a recent university graduate, arrives at the seaside in Bretagne for three weeks' vacation before starting a new job. He's hoping his sort-of girlfriend, the fickle Léna (Aurélia Nolin), will join him there; but as the days pass, he welcomes the interest of Margot (Amanda Langlet, the titular character from Rohmer's PAULINE AT THE BEACH), a student of ethnology working as a waitress for the summer. Things start to get complicated when the spoken-for Margot encourages Gaspard to have a summer romance with her friend, Solène (Gwenaëlle Simon), and he complies. When Léna turns up, and scheduling complications abound, Gaspard will have to make a choice... Rohmer's characteristically light touch allows his characters to discourse on love and friendship, even as their body language complicates and even contradicts their words. Diane Baratier's cinematography perfectly captures the languor of youth and the feeling of a French beach vacation--the sea, the sunlight and the lovely surroundings convey the openness of a world of possibilities faced by these young people.

Eric Rohmer France / 1996 / 114 min / DCP In French, with English subtitles Aspect ratio: 1.33:1 Gaspard (Melvil Poupaud), a recent university graduate, arrives at the seaside in Bretagne for three weeks' vacation before starting a new job. He's hoping his sort-of girlfriend, the fickle Léna (Aurélia Nolin), will join him there; but as the days pass, he welcomes the interest of Margot (Amanda Langlet, the titular character from Rohmer's PAULINE AT THE BEACH), a student of ethnology working as a waitress for the summer. Things start to get complicated when the spoken-for Margot encourages Gaspard to have a summer romance with her friend, Solène (Gwenaëlle Simon), and he complies. When Léna turns up, and scheduling complications abound, Gaspard will have to make a choice... Rohmer's characteristically light touch allows his characters to discourse on love and friendship, even as their body language complicates and even contradicts their words. Diane Baratier's cinematography perfectly captures the languor of youth and the feeling of a French beach vacation--the sea, the sunlight and the lovely surroundings convey the openness of a world of possibilities faced by these young people.

  • Pauline at the Beach Director: Eric Rohmer Country
    Pauline at the beach Director: Eric Rohmer Country: France Date: 1983 This season is supported by Film Hub North West Central, proud to be part of the BFI Film Audience Network. A review by Vincent Canby for The New York Times: It is late summer on the coast of Normandy where the beaches are broad and the weather unpredictable. As always, the North Atlantic is far too cold for anyone used to swimming in the soothing warmth of tropic seas, but the afternoon sun is bright and hot and the breezes are bracing. This is the halcyon setting of ''Pauline at the Beach,'' Eric Rohmer's effortlessly witty, effervescent new French film that opens today at the Lincoln Plaza 1. ''Pauline at the Beach'' is a comedy of romantic manners about six civilized people, each of whom works stubbornly, and at cross purposes, to enlighten someone else about the true nature of love. It's a sunny month in the country. Marion is a young, beautiful, successful fashion designer from Paris, currently in the process of divorcing a husband because she couldn't respond to his slavish devotion. Not unkindly she says of her marriage: ''That wasn't love. It was fidelity.'' Marion is waiting to fall in love for the first time. She wants an allconsuming love, one, she says, ''that burns.'' Henry, somewhat older (that is, somewhere in his 30's), is an ethnologist who lives most of the year in the South Pacific. He is divorced and vacationing in Normandy with his small daughter. Passion, says Henry, is behind him.
