Overview
Éric Rohmer’s second instalment in his Tales of the Four Seasons, A Tale of Winter is a soulful study of love and faith. Five years after accidentally losing contact with her summer love Charles (Frédéric van den Driessche), Félicie (Charlotte Véry) raises their daughter working as a hairdresser in Paris. In the lead up to Christmas, her current lover and boss Maxence (Michel Voletti) announces he has left his wife and invites Félicie to move with him to his hometown of Nevers. Suddenly Félicie must choose between a life with Maxence and metropolitan living with her other lover Loïc (Hervé Furic), a librarian. Whatever her decision, Félicie holds fast a faith that one day she'll be reunited with her true love Charles.
Why You Should See This Film
Named after Shakespeare’s play The Winter’s Tale which features in the film, A Tale of Winter is one of Rohmer’s most spiritual and empathetic films. Studying the intersection of love and faith and even reexamining Pascal’s Wager, this is something of a companion piece to one of Rohmer’s earliest films: My Night at Maud’s. We really admire how Roger Ebert looks at it in his review: "What pervades Rohmer's work is a faith in love--or, if not love, then in the right people finding each other for the right reasons... To attend his films is to be for a time in the company of people we would like to know, and then to realise that in various ways they are ourselves".
