The Visitor is a masterpiece of arranging. Each sound has its place, and every element shifts in and out of presence so discreetly that you never notice the transitions.

Bill Meyer,  The Wire 's Mag.,  September 2009   The Visitor, will be on air, tonight at www.ruc.pt (11pm, Lisbon Time), 107.9fm Coimbra, Portugal Posted via web from Zoid's reading the Wide Web

The Guardian : Eric Rohmer, the French New Wave director known for Ma nuit chez Maud (My Night with Maud), Le genou de Claire (Claire's Knee), and other films about the intricacies of romantic relationships and the dilemmas of modern love, has died. He was 89. Business Week : Along with Jean-Luc Godard and Francois Truffaut, Rohmer wrote for the avant-garde Cahiers du Cinema and was editor of the film magazine for seven years. He wrote the script for Godard’s first French film, “All the Boys Are Named Patrick.” (It contains a shot of a man reading a French movie magazine with the headline, “French Cinema is Dying Under the Weight of False Legends.”) The New York Times : Aesthetically, Mr. Rohmer was perhaps the most conservative member of the group of aggressive young critics who purveyed their writings for publications like Arts and Les Cahiers du Cinéma into careers as filmmakers beginning in the late 1950s.
