He came last and lasted longest. While Godard and Truffaut stormed the barricades, Éric Rohmer edited Cahiers du cinéma and waited - then spent four decades making quiet, talky films about desire and moral furniture that somehow kept finding an audience.

About this person

Born Maurice Schérer in 1920, he was a critic and teacher before he was a director, editing Cahiers du cinéma from 1957 to 1963 while his New Wave colleagues were already shooting. International recognition arrived around 1969 when My Night at Maud's earned an Academy Award nomination. He won San Sebastián for Claire's Knee in 1971 and the Golden Lion at Venice for The Green Ray in 1986. In 2001 Venice gave him a Career Golden Lion. He died in January 2010, outlasting the movement that made him, still drawing crowds late into his eighties.
