Éric Rohmer's "Conte de printemps" ("A Tale of Springtime" in English) is the beginning of his Tales of the Four Seasons. One of the most profound movies that I've ever seen, I doubt that I could do this story of intellectual relations justice by reviewing it. I will say that it shows how Natacha goes through relations continuously, as though they were seasons. Basically, Rohmer uses spring to represent rebirth (note the contrast between the keyed-up Paris and the relaxed countryside). But overall, you have to see the movie to fully understand the characters' complexity. Indeed, this is one that every film buff has to see. Check it out.
