Über diesen Film

The last entry in the TALES OF THE FOUR SEASONS tetralogy is a breezy take on the classic American romantic comedies that influenced Eric Rohmer and his French New Wave peers. Set among the golden vineyards of the Rhône Valley, A TALE OF AUTUMN concerns simultaneous schemes to find a new love for the reserved widow and winegrower Magali (Béatrice Romand). Her son's girlfriend (Alexia Portal) attempts to pair her with a former professor and lover (Didier Sandre), while Magali's friend Isabelle (Marie Rivière) assumes a false identity in order to lure eligible bachelor Gérald (Alain Libolt). The misunderstandings that follow are pure Rohmer in bringing out the humor in human folly.
