A Tale of Winter

France | 1992 | Éric Rohmer

In the second of Éric Rohmer’s “Tales of the Four Seasons,” a young woman on summer holiday falls in love with a cook and returns home bearing his child. But an incorrect address causes her to lose touch with him, so she raises the tyke alone. For four years she is wooed by two other suitors, a hairdresser and a librarian, but she can’t help thinking about her vanished true love. “Rohmer at his very best, effortlessly and unsentimentally charting the absurd complexities of human psychology, while creating a compelling contemporary fairytale.” –Time Out Film Guide. New restoration! Cleveland revival premiere. Subtitles. 114 min.
