One of the members of the famous Nouvelle Vague that reconstituted French cinema based on the theoretical principles articulated in the Cahiers du Cinema, he was fired when as a conservative Catholic he opposed its turn toward politicization. Like some of his colleagues, Rohmer is extremely interested in both the history and the philosophy of film. Brother of the noted French philosopher Rene Scherer, he begins his career as a film critic. In his films, deep moral conflicts as well as the search for one's own identity emerge from the intricacies of seemingly superficial everyday life interactions, particularly between a man and a woman. Hosle's book puts Rohmer in the context of a long French tradition of reflected eroticism, with Marivaux, Musset, Stendhal, and Jean Renoir as crucial figures, and shows how Rohmer both recognizes the inner logic of eroticism and subjects it to moral demands that he inherits from his Catholic background. For Rohmer, the tension between the two can usually only be solved by some unexpected event that can be interpreted as an equivalent of grace. 600 10 Rohmer, Éric,|d1920-2010|xCriticism and interpretation. 600 17 Rohmer, Éric,|d1920-2010.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01734830 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411635 830 0 Philosophical filmmakers. 956 20161005 |bpfmcq|cCCC 957 OCLC xref loaded 20161023 994 C0|bCUY
