Rohmer died quietly in Paris. There was almost no report on this news on TV. Probably they were all busy reporting on the filming of Avatar, the director Cameron who likes to use technology to rape movies. He and Rohmer have always adhered to the elegant and refined film style that is basically the same. direction. Rohmer is a new director in the French film industry after Truffaut's "Four Hundred Blows", the representative director of the New Wave in the 1950s. With the departure of some unique European directors like Rohmer, the diversification of world cinema is at stake, and the situation of Hollywood domination will be a tragedy for cinema. If the screen is full of films driven solely by sensory stimulation, it is the tragedy predicted by Huxley. Rohmer's films are indescribable, delicate, beautiful, and his tone is slow and calm. In fact, his style is so special that it is impossible to compare his films with the works of other directors. French President Sarkozy said: "Rohmer. A great director whose work is classic and romantic, wise and unconventional, bright and serious, emotional and moral, he created the 'Rohmer' style that will always be remembered." Audiences accustomed to Hollywood Most would find his films dull, but it's his ability to use the screen as a space for slow thinking that's amazing. He was not in a hurry to go anywhere at all, and stayed in the afternoon light for a long time, and every ripple of emotion in his heart could be unfolded and watched carefully and gracefully by him. He is not at all afraid that the audience's expectations will fail, no, he doesn't seem to be here to please the audience, and has no interest in the audience's expectations. However, if the audience is patient enough, sensitive enough, and quiet enough, they will find that those fleeting and subtle emotions in their hearts have been captured and unfolded so delicately. His films seem plain, but they have an indescribable charm. The girl Klar in "Klar's Knee" is fresh and pure, like the morning sun on a freshly mowed lawn, exuding a moving fragrance, and the beauty is irresistible. Appears when the protagonist can't help but put his hand on Klar's knee, and then slides down naturally. It is such an emotional experience that is almost indescribable, unfixable, and impossible to capture. He interprets the entire psychological process as if a A gentle and passionate symphony, Rohmer is the master conductor who does not reveal his wisdom. Rohmer's life was simple and low-key. He didn't give interviews, and he didn't like to take pictures. He didn't wear expensive clothes. He often took the bus. The director of the Cannes Film Festival said: "Rohmer has proved that great works can be made at low cost, which is especially rare in our times." Rohmer does not tell exciting stories, he likes to grind his heart over and over again. A little bit of ups and downs, like an artist, concentrating on indulging in his own world, crafting meticulously, completely regardless of whether the work can be sold for money or how much it can be sold for, his works are not industrial products made on the assembly line based on who wants to pay how much , but a work of art with a deep personal style, dedicated to exploring the inner world that fascinated him.

Claire's Knee quotes

  • Aurora, the novelist: I find all men attractive. That's why I can't pick one. Why one and not another? I need a reason to choose one specific man. Since I can't have them all, I prefer to do without any.

  • Aurora, the novelist: Let me tell you something. Last year I wanted to test my charms on very young boys. The young generation is a complete unknown to me. Incomprehensible. A total mystery. I settled on the number five in one week.

    Jerome: Five!

    Aurora, the novelist: Actually, I had three. Very handsome, all of them.

    Jerome: Did you enjoy it, apart from the glory of conquest?

    Aurora, the novelist: It was very nice. I could have gone on. But since it was a matter of ego, and ego is quickly satisfied, at least, in this area, I prefer to wait. I know how to wait. Waiting is pleasant in and of itself.
