A Tale of Springtime

Temporarily in need of an apartment, Parisian philosophy instructor Jeanne (Teyssèdre) accepts an invitation to stay with young acquaintance Natasha (Darel) and her father (Quester) -- but soon finds herself embroiled in her hosts' messy emotional drama. The inaugural entry in Rohmer's Four Seasons cycle, this absorbing slice-of-life comedy is anchored by a trio of refreshingly complicated characters, all drawn with the director's trademark light touch.
