Title : Six Moral Tales - Eric Rohmer - book

Summary :

Why film a story when you can write it? Why write it when you're going to film it? This double question is only seemingly idle. It came to me very specifically. The idea for these tales came to me at an age when I didn't yet know if I would be a filmmaker. If I made films of them, it's because I didn't succeed in making them write . And if, in a certain way, it is true that I wrote them – in the very form in which we will read them – it is only to be able to film them. These texts, therefore, are not "taken" from my films. They precede them in time, but I wanted them from the outset to be something other than "scenarios". This is why any reference to a cinematographic staging is absent. They had, from the first draft, a resolutely literary appearance. » Éric Rohmer.
