Description
Éric Rohmer: A Life of Cinema and Culture This comprehensive biography explores the life and work of Éric Rohmer, a director of twenty-five films and former editor in chief of Cahiers du cinéma. Through personal archives and interviews, the authors shed light on Rohmer's fascinating network of friends, colleagues, and industry contacts that shaped his outlook and propelled his career. Rohmer's private life was marked by a deep commitment to politics, religion, culture, and the arts, as well as a paradoxical fascination with royalist politics and Catholicism. His films regularly featured at New York and Los Angeles film festivals, and he maintained close relationships with fellow directors François Truffaut, Jean-Luc Godard, Claude Chabrol, and Jacques Rivette. This exhaustive volume offers a nuanced understanding of Rohmer's public achievements and lesser-known interests, capturing his voracious appetite for art, culture, and intellectual debate.
