Our take

Rohmer’s last comedy of manners in his “Tales of Four Seasons” cycle was a big commercial success and won the Best Screenplay award in Venice. In the bucolic vineyards of Southern France, the search for love of Magali, played by Marie Rivière, gives way to a multitude of romantic entanglements.
