Synopsis
Arena: Cinema goes to Paris for a unique interview with Eric Rohmer, the most retiring of filmmakers, who once turned up for the New York premiere of his own 'My Night with Maud' in a false moustache for fear of being recognised. Rohmer was one of the nucleus, with Godard, Chabrol, Truffaut and Rivette, who edited Cahiers du Cinema, and who became the shock troops of the New Wave. His recent films, such as 'Claire's Knee' and 'Love in the Afternoon', are witty, intelligent conversation-pieces about sex, which he calls his 'moral tales'.
