Rohmer’s wistful, sumptuously beautiful film cycle receives a gorgeous box set from Criterion.
Even Blaise Pascal would wager you have everything to lose by not picking up Criterion’s upgrade of Eric Rohmer’s “Six Moral Tales.”
Éric Rohmer uses a country-mouse-and-city-mouse template to explore morality, aesthetic sense, urban and rural savvy, and more.
Those who find Rohmer heroines difficult might even be won over by the depth and poignancy of Marie Rivière’s Delphine.
Criterion presents the films in their original 1.33:1 aspect ratios, though there is some controversy surrounding these transfers.
