Eric Rohmer 1920-2010

I heard this morning that Eric Rohmer died in Paris. He leaves behind a terrific collection of some of the most elegant and enjoyable films I've had the pleasure of watching. I went to see one of his films on a whim when it was showing at the Oak Street Cinema in Minneapolis during a retrospective of his work. I was so enchanted, I went to every film.

I still haven't seen his last film, "The Romance of Astrea and Celadon," but it will be high on my list now. In fact, I may just do my own little retrospective . . . .
