Episode description
Eric Rohmer was in his 70s when he delivered his final official cycle, Tales of Four Seasons. How do these 4 films stack up against his legendary Moral Tales or Comedies and Proverbs cycles? How do they capture the seasons, let alone youth? Was he still on point?
Join us as we talk through A Tale of Springtime (1990), A Winter's Tale (1992), A Tale of Summer (1996), and An Autumn Tale (1998) in chronological order, and break down their themes, how they fit together, and how they make us feel.
