| | Posted: | | | | From NPR: Filmmaker Eric Rohmer died today in Paris at the age of 89, according to his production company. Though he was often associated with the French New Wave, Rohmer was older than Francois Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard. His films seemed to be more influenced by such older French filmmakers as Renoir and Bresson. Yet by focusing each of his "moral tales" (including Claire's Knee, My Night at Maud's and Chloe in the Afternoon) on the interior moral dilemma of his central character, he made his movies more like literature. And that was revolutionary in its own way. | | | If it wasn't for bad taste, I wouldn't have no taste at all.
