FIFTY/FEWER: The Romance of Astrée and Céladon (Eric Rohmer, 2007)

04 October 2007

Shot in 4:3 with Ren-faire costuming against pastoral landscapes, the style of Romance is as old-fashioned as its story: the love between 5th-century peasants is twisted by nymphs, druids and that ever-deceptive cross-dressing. When I stopped guessing at Rohmer’s intentions, I survived it. A rough way to watch any movie.
