six-moral-tales-criterion-collection-new-on-bluray

Product Description: The multifaceted, deeply personal dramatic universe of Eric Rohmer has had an effect on cinema unlike any other. Gently existential, hyperarticulate character studies set against vivid seasonal landscapes, Rohmer's audacious and wildly influential series defined a genre. A succession of jousts between fragile men and the women who tempt them, the Six Moral Tales unleashed onto the film world a new voice, one that was at once sexy, philosophical, modern, daring, nonjudgmental, and liberating. Six-disc box set includes the films: The Bakery Girl of Monceau (Boulangre de Monceau, La) (1963) Suzanne's Career (Carrire de Suzanne, La ) (1963) My Night at Maud's (Ma nuit chez Maud ) (1969) La collectionneuse (Collectionneuse, La ) (1967) Claire's Knee (Genou de Claire, Le ) (1970) Love in the Afternoon (Amour l'aprs-midi, L') (1972)
