Eric Rohmer

Eric Rohmer is a French film director and screenwriter. He is regarded as a key figure in the post-war cinema, although he was the last of the French New Wave directors to become established. He worked as the editor of the influential Cahiers du cinéma periodical from 1957 to 1963, while most of his colleagues, among them Jean-Luc Godard and François Truffaut, were making their names in international cinema. He did not complete his first feature, Le signe du lion until 1959, and it received little notice; nevertheless with his cycle of films entitled Six Moral Tales, his career began to take off. With Die Marquise von O... (1976) he won the Grand Prize of the Jury at the Cannes Film Festival. Since then he has won numerous awards, and is considered one of the most important filmmakers in the world.
