Regular readers know well my love for the works of the late film director Eric Rohmer.  I borrowed a copy of “The Romance of Astrea and Celedon” from our local library system.  I hadn’t seen it before (unlike other films by Rohmer that I’ve probably viewed a half-dozen times).  I really enjoyed this film.

A review of this film by a critic for the Independent. The critic obviously missed a couple of Rohmer’s short, early films (“The Curve” a short film in which Rohmer was certainly involved, comes to mind right away), but I think the critic appreciates this film.
