Title: The films of Eric Rohmer
Review: $70+ is a good price for this box. It contains six movies: the four most important (Claire's knee, La Collectionneuse, Love in the afternoon and My night at Maud's) and two early shorter ones. Plus a lot of extra material, interviews and so on. The transfer of the four important movies are totally midblowing, especially La Collectionneuse which felt lika a recently filmed movie instead of over 40 years old (it was made in 1967)! (The picture in the two early films is not as good, but this is to be expected considering their age and the conditions under which they were produced, and they are well worth watching as early experiments when Rohmer found his style.)Rohmers movies are very dialogue-based and contains philosophical reflections, moral dilemmas etc, but never become heavy or abstract, instead they have a delightful charm and are well worth watching several times. Highly recommended!
