Plot: In Eric Rohmer's AUTUMN TALE, two match-making schemes go awry, both at the expense of Magali (Béatrice Romand), an unassuming middle-aged widow. Her best friend and neighbor, Isabelle (Marie Rivière), places a personal ad in the paper, and reels in Gérard (Alain Libolt), who she hopes will be the perfect new husband for the lonesome Magali. But Isabelle does not reveal her plan to Magali. And, little does she know, Rosine (Alexia Portal)--the girlfriend of Magali's son--wants to set her up with her philosophy professor, Etienne (Didier Sandre). When all of these cupids and potential mates come together, the result is not true love, but confusion, chaos, and--the token of all of Rohmer films--conversation. With beautiful, long, pensive shots on the small village in southern France with its bold, stately chateaus set off by Magali's craggy, intricate vineyard, the film weaves together personalities, points of view, and positions in life. As each character reveals, through language or simple inflection, his or her position on love, work, longevity, and life itself, the film unfurls like a simple, well-choreographed dance. AUTUMN TALE is the fourth and final film in Rohmer's Tales of the Four Seasons series.
