Reviews
"The Films of Eric Rohmer investigates anew the productive relationships between history, philosophy, gender, and genre within Rohmer's long and fascinating career. Furthermore, this important collection offers a wealth of insightful perspectives on the rich and complicated legacies of Rohmer's essays and films and their momentous place within French film culture." - Richard Neupert, author of A History of the French New Wave Cinema
"The book's catholic approach is appropriate to a filmmaker whose own religious persuasions shaped his work and responses to them . . . Anderst's collection offers an elegant range of perspectives from which to view Rohmer's work." - Sight&Sound
