The film content, story and characters are a matter of personal taste and one's level of interest in things French. The stories and cinematography are relaxing, thoughtful, introspective, and one can take these almost as documentaries of 1960-1980s Paris, and the social mores of that time. What drew me to this set was the excellent remastering of the original films, only available in this set from Criterion. The standard dvd releases, I believe by Koch Lorber, are abysmal - vhs-quality, and really detract from the pleasure of watching the stories. The Criterion set brings the video quality up to "good", as much as can be done with the original 16mm film stock.

Terrific set of films. Engaging characters and dialogue and a nice book of short stories that are the basis for the films.

Eric Rohmer concentrates upon character and dialogue, with humor added, in his films. They are thoughtful and delightful.
