The Daily Telegraph described him as "the most durable film- maker of the French New Wave", outlasting his peers and "still making movies the public wanted to see" late in his career.[3]Early life[edit]Rohmer was born Jean- Marie Maurice Schérer (or Maurice Henri Joseph Schérer)[4] in Nancy (also listed as Tulle), Meurthe- et- Moselledepartment, Lorraine, France, the son of Mathilde (née Bucher) and Lucien Schérer.[5] Rohmer was a Catholic.[3][6] He was secretive about his private life and often gave different dates of birth to reporters.[7] He fashioned his pseudonym from the names of two famous artists: actor and director Erich von Stroheim and writer Sax Rohmer, author of the Fu Manchu series.[8] Rohmer was educated in Paris and received an advanced degree in history.

Rohmer had never been very interested in film and always preferred literature but soon became an intense lover of films and switched from journalism to film criticism.

There, Rohmer established himself as a critic with a distinctive voice; fellow Cahiers contributor and French New Wave filmmaker Luc Moullet later remarked that, unlike the more aggressive and personal writings of younger critics like Truffaut and Godard, Rohmer favored a rhetorical style that made extensive use of questions and rarely used the first person singular.[1.

Rohmer was known as being more politically conservative than most of the staff at Cahiers, and his opinions were highly influential on the direction of the magazine during his time as editor. Rohmer first published articles under his real name but began using "Éric Rohmer" in 1. Rohmer's best- known article was "Le Celluloid et le marbre" ("Celluloid and Marble") in 1. In the article, Rohmer states that in an age of cultural self- consciousness, film is "the last refuge of poetry" and the only contemporary art form from which metaphor could still spring naturally and spontaneously.[9]In 1.

It focuses on Hitchcock's Catholic background and is described as "one of the most influential film books since the Second World War, casting new light on a film- maker hitherto considered a mere entertainer".[3]Hitchcock helped establish the auteur theory as a critical method and contributed to the re- evaluation of the American cinema that was central to that method.

By 1. 96. 3 Rohmer was becoming more at odds with some of the more radical left- wing critics at Cahiers du Cinéma. He continued to admire US films while many of the other left- wing critics had rejected US films and were championing cinéma vérité and Marxist film criticism.

Rohmer has cited the works of writers Blaise Pascal, Jean de La Bruyère, François de La Rochefoucauld and Stendhal as inspirations for the series of films.[1. Rohmer explained that "I persuaded myself that the best thing would be to treat the subject six times over.. I was determined to be flexible and intractable, because if you persist in an idea it seems to me that in the end you do secure a following."[9] The first "Moral Tale" was The Bakery Girl of Monceau in 1.

This 2. 6 minute film portrays a boy who sees a girl in the street and spends days obsessively searching for her. He meets a second girl in a bakery and begins to flirt with her, but abandons her once he finally finds the first girl.
