  • A Summer’s Tale (Éric Rohmer 1996) w/ Nathan Cowles

    A Summer’s Tale (Éric Rohmer 1996) w/ Nathan Cowles
    May 6 2024
    Felicia is joined by Nathan Cowles to discuss Éric Rohmer’s first film in his A Tale of Four Season series, about a man being tossed around by three different women in A Summer’s Tale (1996). We chat about Rohmer’s way of writing women, his choice to work with a woman cinematographer and how that lends to a unique gaze behind the camera. Along with the importance of the script and the quiet moments that expose the protagonists inner truth. This is the Rohmer series opener and I’m beyond excited to share this series with you - we’ve got four great guests to cover a wide range of Rohmer’s work this month - I hope you follow along!
