The 1969 film Ma Nuit chez Maud catapulted its shy academic film
director Eric Rohmer (1920-2010) into the limelight, selling over a
million tickets in France and earning a nomination for an Academy
Award. Ma Nuit chez Maud remains his most famous film, the
highlight of an impressive range of films examining the sexual,
romantic, and artistic mores of contemporary France, the
temptations of desire, the small joys of everyday life, and
sometimes, the vicissitudes of history and politics. Yet Rohmer was
almost fifty years old when Maud was released and had already had a
career as the editor of Cahiers du Cinema, a position he lost in a
political takeover in 1963. The interviews in this book offer a
range of insights into the theoretical, critical, and practical
circumstances of Rohmer's remarkably coherent body of films, but
also allow Rohmer to act as his own critic, providing us with an
array of readings concerning his interest in setting, season,
color, and narrative. Alongside the application of a theoretical
rigor to his own films, Rohmer's interviews also discuss directors
as varied as Godard, Carne, Renoir, and Hitchcock, and the
relations of film to painting, architecture, and music. This book
reproduces little-known interviews, such as a debate Rohmer
undertakes with Women and Film concerning feminism, alongside
detailed discussions from Cahiers and Positif, many produced in
English here for the first time.
