Director, Screenwriter Born: April 4, 1920 in Nancy, France Biography:The most subtle and traditional of the many luminaries launched to prominence as a member of the French New Wave, "Eric Rohmer" is also among the movement's most consistent and enduring talents. Basing his work upon antecedents in literature as much as those in the cinema, Rohmer made his name crafting talky, feather-light romantic comedies and chamber dramas distinguished by economical camerawork, a warmly ironic tone, an affection for youth, and a fascination with place and time. His intensely personal private life -- according to legend, not even his own mother knew he was an internationally acclaimed, albeit pseudonymously named, filmmaker -- has stood in direct contrast to the emotional openness of his movies, which, in intimate and illuminating detail, explore the limitless entanglements, disappointments, and possibilities facing contemporary relationships.
