What Éric Rohmer has done for a first time

When he was a critic for Cahiers du CinÃ©ma, 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.
First published articles under his real name but began using "Ãric Rohmer" in 1955 so that his family would not find out that he was involved in the film world, as they would have disapproved.

Éric Rohmer's quotes

What I would most like to do is to make movies with a completely invisible camera.
We have to show what lies beyond behavior, while knowing we can't show anything but behavior.
[on his work] You can say that my work is closer to the novel - to a certain classic style of novel which the cinema is now taking over - than to other forms of entertainment, like the theater.
[on Emmanuelle Riva's performance in Hiroshima Mon Amour (1959)] She isn't a classical heroine, at least not one that a certain classical cinema has habituated us to see, from David Griffith [D.W. Griffith] to Nicholas Ray.
The art of cinema takes us back to the world, if it is true that the other arts have distanced us from it. It has forced us, throughout the course of its history, and forces us still, to take the world into consideration.
The classical age of cinema is not behind us, but ahead.
Believe it or not, Diderot is a more modern scriptwriter than Faulkner is.
Art is a reflection of our time. But isn't it also an antidote?
