Conte d'hiver (1991)
(A Winter's Tale)
Country: FR
Technical: col 114m
Director: Eric Rohmer
Cast: Charlotte Véry, Frédéric Van Den Driessche
Synopsis:
Having lost contact with the love of her life and father of her daughter through a careless slip when exchanging addresses, a Parisian hairdresser consoles herself with two other men but inwardly stakes her happiness on the slender hope that one day the family will be reunited.
Review:
Although boasting one of the director's more impulsive, contradictory and selfish heroines, this has all the customary rewards - cultured discussions, dramatic developments hinging on a spoken word - and a charming dimension added by the child's presence in a normally exclusively adult world. The resolution is a rare kleenex moment in the creator's oeuvre.
