The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston presents Rohmer X 2. Eric Rohmer (1920–2010), a co-founder of the French New Wave, directed over 50 films, in addition to garnering acclaim as a critic and novelist. Among the tributes that poured in upon his death early last year was one from French president, Nicolas Sarkozy: “Classic and romantic, wise and iconoclastic, light and serious, sentimental and moralistic, he created the ‘Rohmer’ style, which will outlive him.” Take the opportunity to appreciate his talent with these two films released consecutively in the 1980s, both starring one of his favorite actresses, Marie Rivière.

95 minutes

Over the course of four episodes, two young women—one from the city, the other from the country—meet and bond over an exquisite atmospheric event, and then room together in Paris, where they encounter many of the inevitable characters of a modern city: the impossible waiter, the metro station hustler, and the snooty gallery owner.

“Lolita meets Jane Eyre in Rohmer’s [quartet of] stories of the manners and morality of precocious mamselles.”—Washington Post
