Eric Rohmer Books
Éric Rohmer, a pivotal figure of the French New Wave, is celebrated for his distinctive cinematic style and his significant contributions to the influential journal Cahiers du cinéma. His films offer profound explorations of human psychology and moral quandaries, often set against the backdrop of French bourgeois life.

His narrative approach is characterized by naturalistic dialogue that reveals deep truths about the human condition.
In seinem Faustfilm hat Murnau, auf dem Höhepunkt seiner Karriere, alle Mittel mobilisieren können, die ihm eine totale Beherrschung des Raums sicherten. Sämtliche Formen, - die der Gesichter, der Körper, der Gegenstände wie die der Landschaften und der Naturerscheinungen, Schnee, Licht, Feuer, Wolken - sind nach seiner Vorstellung gestaltet. Niemals sonst hat ein Film so wenig auf Zufall gesetzt.

"Here at last is the book on Hitchcock--the underground classic of film criticism that has shaped all subsequent studies of this cinematic giant. "It was first published in 1957, and its authors were two young contributors to Cahier du Cinema, the influential film periodical. They were both soon to become directors of international renown."--from back cover
