ERIC ROHMER'S TALES OF THE FOUR SEASONS (Blu-ray)

The seasons may change, but the follies of the heart are constant in this ineffably lovely quartet of films by Eric Rohmer, one of cinemas most perceptive chroniclers of the pangs and perils of romance. Set throughout France, Tales of the Four Seasons is a cycle to stand alongside the directors two earlier acclaimed film series, Six Moral Tales and Comedies and Proverbs. By turns comic and melancholic, breezy and richly philosophical, these bittersweet tales of love, longing, and the inevitable misunderstandings that shape human relationships probe the most complex of emotions with the utmost grace.FOUR-BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES New 2K digital restorations, supervised by cinematographer Diane Baratier and Laurent Schrer, director Eric Rohmers son, with uncompressed monaural soundtracks New interview program recorded at Rohmers house in Tulle, France, featuring Baratier, producer Franoise Etchegaray, sound engineer Pascal Ribier, and editor Mary Stephen Excerpts of radio intervie
