I am sure I will get round to each film individually at some point, probably from the bottom up. Thank you for the welcome and it was very enjoyable to see your take on my list, I see by your profile image that you are a fan of James Whale, both Frankenstein and The Invisible Man were very very close to being on my list, as they are two fantastic films. It was very interesting and fun seeing your opinions, thank you again!

Gangster Rap is Shakespeare for the Future
I feel that Triple Agent represents a great piece of French Film Noir, whilst Rendezvous In Paris shows off a beautifully orchestrated drama. The two films for me show off Rohmer's style, I feel they are also a good starting point for those looking to watch Rohmer's work.
What other Rohmer films have you seen?

Gangster Rap is Shakespeare for the Future
I have also seen The Sign of Leo, The Romance of Astrea and Celadon, The Collector, and Chloe in the Afternoon.
A good number, but none of my favorites!



A good number, but none of my favorites!
Which Rohmer films would you suggest? I am mainly into Godard, Truffaut, and Charbol, I do love Rohmer I just need to see more of his work. The same can be said for Rivette.

Both Rohmer and Rivette are awesome! I just watched Rivette's Out 1: noli me tangere over the summer, which was quite an undertaking, but it's an amazing film. My favorite Rohmer films are The Green Ray, Boyfriends and Girlfriends, Claire's Knee and The Aviator's Wife

I shall add all of the above to my watchlist for sure!

It doesn't matter the movies on your list that I don't like, that's just taste. What matters is that you have a lot to offer, and that you're here. Welcome aboard

I'm also watching Wild Strawberries tonight.



Interesting list!

If you like the French New Wave i would suggest watching some Jacques Demy, Agnès Varda and Alain Resnais!

Its nice to see Charulata so high on your list!
If they are French New Wave this makes them high on my watchlist!
And yes, it is a masterpiece.
