Eric Rohmer has passed away.



Eric Rohmer was a prominent writer, film critic and as a director stood side by side with the likes of Jean-Luc
Godard, Francois Truffaut, Jacques Rivette, and Claude Chabrol and his style was a great influence on many directors such as Woody Allen, Olivier Assayas, Arnaud Desplechin, Richard Linklater, Whit Stillman, Steven Soderbergh, and Andrew Bujalski. Four Star carries a great deal of Rohmer's work on both DVD and VHS. Notable entries include 'My Night at Maude's,' 'Claire's Knees,' 'Chloe In The Afternoon,' 'The Romance of Astrea and Celadon' which was his final film and another recent film called 'Triple Agent' from 2003 which was possibly one of his most demanding movies.
R.I.P.
