Amnesiascope and Rohmer Fits are showcasing Éric Rohmer’s A Tale of Summer from July 22 to 25.

      My screening series Amnesiascope will be back at the Brooklyn Center for Theatre Research on July 22, 24, and 25 with Éric Rohmer’s A Tale of Summer, co-presented by Instagram sensation @rohmerfits and in collaboration with Janus Films. Following sold-out showings of The Green Ray, two short film programs, and A Tale of Autumn, I anticipate that Rohmer’s sun-drenched gem—an ideal escape from the summer heat and blockbuster cinema—will be in high demand.

      While it may be slightly less recognized than some of Rohmer’s acclaimed works, A Tale of Summer is certainly deserving of its place among them. This comedy of romantic uncertainty showcases some of the most captivating actors France produced in the ’90s, with the seaside setting of Dinard serving as an excellent backdrop for casual deception and misunderstandings. We aim to create a Rohmer-esque atmosphere by screening the film in an artist-friendly environment (which could have been lifted straight from his world) with drinks in hand and a rooftop that welcomes cigarette smoke—definitely a richer experience than watching from your sofa.

      Tickets are available here, and the event description is below:

      Amnesiascope is thrilled to once again collaborate with Rohmer Fits, returning to BCTR with Éric Rohmer’s delightful seasonal film A TALE OF SUMMER. This unparalleled comedy of romantic ambiguity, showcased in a beautiful restoration thanks to Janus Films, is also one of the finest summer films—make sure to keep the following day free for a visit to the beach.
