Éric Rohmer

What makes a Éric Rohmer film a Éric Rohmer film

Across 6 films, they run much less darkness, much less violence and much less paranoia than films in general. Their films resemble each other more than chance would account for, though not unusually so.

The line down the middle is the average film. A bar to the right means more of that reading than films in general, to the left less. Drawn from every film of theirs in the catalogue, not a selection.
