Such brilliance does not develop in a vacuum, and Rohmer cultivated a fascinating network of friends, colleagues, and industry contacts that kept his outlook sharp and propelled his work forward. Despite his privacy, he cared deeply about politics, religion, culture, and fostering a public appreciation of the medium he loved. This exhaustive biography uses personal archives and interviews to enrich our knowledge of Rohmer's public achievements and lesser known interests and relations. The filmmaker kept in close communication with his contemporaries and competitors: Francois Truffaut, Jean-Luc Godard, Claude Chabrol, and Jacques Rivette. He held a paradoxical fascination with royalist politics, the fate of the environment, Catholicism, classical music, and the French nightclub scene, and his films were regularly featured at New York and Los Angeles film festivals.Despite an austere approach to life, Rohmer had a voracious appetite for art, culture, and intellectual debate captured vividly in this definitive volume.Language: FrenchCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 254mmItem Length: 178mmAuthor: Antoine de Baecque, Noël Herpe, Antoine De BaecqueTranslator: Steven Rendall, Lisa NealContributor: Steven Rendall (Translated by), Lisa Neal (Translated by)Genre: Films & TVType: Production & TechnologyRelease Year: 2016 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
