Eric Rohmer the legendary filmmaker passed away in a hospital in Paris on Monday. Rohmer is one of the original founders of the “New Wave” French movement; he has worked on countless films and received an Academy Award nomination for his work on My Night’s at Maud’s in 1969. The president of France, Nicolas Sarkozy, remembered Rohmer as “Classic and romantic, wise and iconoclastic, light and serious, sentimental and moralistic, he created the ‘Rohmer’ style, which will outlive him.”
