About A Tale of Springtime
The story of an introverted young girl just reaching adulthood who takes a liking to an older woman she meets at a party and determines to match her off with her father, despite the latter's already having a lover of his own.
Directed by Éric Rohmer, A Tale of Springtime leans on a strong ensemble — Anne Teyssèdre, Hugues Quester, Florence Darel — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1990.
