Genre


Éric Rohmer (born Jean-Marie Maurice Scherer) was a French film director and screenwriter. He is regarded as a key figure in the post-war New Wave cinema and is a former editor of influential French film journal Cahiers du cinéma. He was also the brother of philosopher and pedagogist René Schérer.

Scherer fashioned his pseudonym from the names of two famous artists: actor and director Erich von Stroheim and writer Sax Rohmer, author of the Fu Manchu series.

Rohmer was the last of the French New Wave directors to become established. He worked as the editor of the Cahiers du cinéma periodical from 1957 to 1963, while most of his Cahiers colleagues, among them Jean-Luc Godard and François Truffaut, were making their names in international cinema

“But if I didn't read, I'd think, and thinking, when you come down to it, is the most painful thing of all, and the most monopolizing”
Eric Rohmer, Six Moral Tales

“For one never makes a film out of nothing. To shoot a film is always to shoot something, be it fiction or reality, and the more shaky the reality, the more solid the fiction must be.”
Eric Rohmer, Six Moral Tales

“I never said it was her and I thought I'd seen that look before. But every time a woman looks at me it feels like déjà vu. Maybe because every time a woman looks at a man, the look is so charged with the eternal feminine that there's nothing personal about it. One doesn't see a woman: one sees woman.”
Éric Rohmer
