Various combinations on Google too. Is it perhaps the truth that M. Rohmer (not his real name) is being delberately and characteristically mysterious? -- Picapica 15:52, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Eric Rohmer film articles

I'm guessing not many people read this talk page but if there are any Rohmer fans out there here's a nice task for you! Countless pages with little or no content have been created for Eric Rohmer's more obscure films and in particular short films. Most have been tagged as unimportant or not notable. I have switched many of these tags to an expand tag but given that I particularly despise the guy's work I am frankly not interested in spending time to add enough details for these to become decent articles. Another possibility would be to redirect all of these articles to Rohmer's filmography. Pascal.Tesson 02:03, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Most of this material was added by User:Robertgrassi. Rohmer is important as a filmmaker of the French New Wave and as a film critic, but not popular, making problematic the availability of his films to an English language audience (most editors here on the English wiki). If they aren't expanded within a the next few months, it probably makes sense to condense the material into fewer articles until such time as someone with the appropriate sources can do a better job. -- Slowmover 15:08, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Good point. A List of short films of Eric Rohmer would make sense for instance. Pascal.Tesson 16:23, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

I just updated Rohmer's complete works, or at least as complete as I could make it. Now that it's more clear that most of what were categorized as short films are actually television episodes, I'm not sure if it makes sense to create a separate entry for them. As for his short films that are in fact actual stand-alone short films, those I think could be left as separate entries. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.179.79.185 (talk • contribs).

Thanks for improving this article. What sources did you have for the TV episode stuff? -- Slowmover 15:47, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Good job. Now all we need to do is merge these pages accordingly. Pascal.Tesson 17:39, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

I was able to find it through a French website: http://mapage.noos.fr/e.rohmer/, though I decided to organize each show by the series first, and then the year. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.91.92.158 (talk • contribs).

Merci beaucoup. -- Slowmover 18:42, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

de nada -- my one request is that no one reformats his credits into a table.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.91.92.158 (talk • contribs).
