Tales of the Four Seasons Collection
The Four Seasons is a cycle of four films made in the 1990s by Éric Rohmer. These films deal in part with the same subject: romantic and friendly relationships, approached from a philosophical point of view. Formal dialogue and a ‘New Wave’ style of filming, as in Rohmer's other films, are also common features of these films.
