Collection: Tales of the Four Seasons
In this series, Éric Rohmer examines how different people respond when chance encounters and discoveries alter their plans and undermine their independence. Even though the protagonists are different from each other, all are shown over a one- to two-week period grappling with uncertainty and change. That seasons themselves are impermanent highlights the films' themes.
