Eric Rohmer has been a major figure in French cinema as a critic, writer and director since the 1950s. The films that he has directed and written are well-known for their sense of place, their conversations andmisunderstandings, and their focus on the tragicomedy of love. The characters in the films are usually very proud of their sophistication andcleverness: but Rohmer raises the questionthat perhaps they are so wrapped up in themselves that they miss everything that is important. Thefilms are also impeccably realist, very simple, and very straightforward - or are they? In this new study, Keith Tester argues that Rohmer's work deals with complex theological questions. The films encourage the audience to look carefully at the screen and the world outside of the cinema, in the hopethat traces of the lurking God might be noticed. Eric Rohmer: Film as Theology is a groundbreaking exploration of a major film-maker, and an investigation into how theological issues can be expressedincontemporary culture.
