Tales Of The Four Seasons - A Tale Of Springtime / A Winter's Tale / A Summer's Tale / An Autumn Tale (French, DVD, Boxed set)

,
A Tale Of Springtime
This enchanting comedy of manners follows the newly formed friendship between Jeanne, a philosophy teacher, and Natasha, a music student, who meet by chance at a Paris party. Through force of circumstance, the young women spend the next few days dividing their time between Natasha's father's city apartment and the family's second home in Fontainbleau. Inspired by the newly blossoming season, the girls' fancies turn to thoughts of love, but their friendship is threatened when Jeanne suspects Natasha of some mischievous matchmaking. The first in Eric Rohmer's acclaimed series Tales of the Four Seasons.

A Winter's Tale
On holiday in Brittany, Parisian hairdresser Felicie has an idyllic romance that results in the birth of her daughter, Elise. Through a mix-up over her address, she loses touch with Elise's father, Charles, and becomes obsessed with the lost love of her life. She finds it impossible to settle with another man and wavers between two unsatisfactory relationships, while holding onto the dream that Charles may one day return. The second in Eric Rohmer's Tales Of The Four Seasons series, this charming and wonderfully acted love story has the compelling quality of a fairytale.

A Summer's Tale
The third part in Eric Rohmer's Tales of the Four Seasons charts the summer vacation of Gaspard, a young man who claims nothing ever happens in his life. But one summer, he discovers that nothing could be further from the truth. In Dinard, a seaside resort in rural Brittany, Gaspard becomes romantically entangled with three beautiful young women: his classmate Lena, waitress Margot, and the outgoing Solene, whom he meets at a party. As the girls' patience with him begins to wear thin, a confused Gaspard must make the difficult choice between them.

An Autumn Tale
Rohmer's light-hearted romantic comedy, set amongst the vineyards of the Rhone Valley, concludes his film cycle Tales of the Four Seasons. Best friends Magali, a widow, and Isabelle, a happily married bookshop owner, have known each other since childhood. Although Magali enjoys her life as a winegrower, she admits she would relish some male companionship; a confession that prompts Isabelle to secretly find her friend a man. After placing a lonely hearts ad, Isabelle chooses a suitor, but finds that things don't quite go according to plan...

In French with English Subtitles.
