Eric and Howard: A Tribute to Rohmer
March 1–14, 2010 at
Cinemateca Uruguaya
, Montevideo, Uruguay
This cycle, which should have been titled "Howard Hawks and Eric Rohmer," was curated before the news of the death of Rohmer. This unfortunate event forced the Cinemateca Uruguaya to slightly change the approach and emphasis of the program, but the central idea remained the same: to draw a parallel between Howard Hawks and Eric Rohmer, to detect the influences that the American filmmaker drew from the European, and to explain the persistent admiration shown by Rohmer for the author of Red River and Rio Bravo. When Hawks' last film premiered in Paris in 1959, the then film critic Rohmer was the only writer from the Cahiers du Cinéma who awarded the film five asterisks, the maximum score. He also said (and continued to claim repeatedly): "Someone who does not like Hawks does not like cinema."
