Review of A Tale of Winter (Eric Rohmer, 1992)

A snippet of life and a preview of a 90s Parisโ€™ view on love

No shortage of sureness of emotion, and no compromising in believed morals for the pleasure of even loved ones. A tale of winter depicts an openness and honesty towards love that invites deeper discovery not found in the linearity of many American love stories. It provides a more holistic view of love, an approach to life guided by love itself and its feeling, rather than by the basis of attachment to people that come along the way of experiencing love.

A Tale of Winter displays a clear confidence in fluidity, and a respect for the changing nature of the human.
