Connections, in both directions
Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008)
Directed by Woody Allen
influenced by Pauline at the Beach (1983)
Themes
In lieu of tackling a straightforward comedy or drama this time, "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" takes inspiration from the works of Eric Rohmer (1983's " Pauline at the Beach ") in its naturalistic slice-of-life look at two young women still trying to decide what they want to make of their futures.
Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019)
Directed by Céline Sciamma
influenced by The Marquise of O (1976)
Visuals
Portrait of a Lady on Fire — a bold title fusing Henry James’s psychological acuity to Alicia Keys’s pop audacity — should have been as sensually powerful as Truffaut’s Brontë-esque films The Story of Adèle H. and Two English Girls, while cinematographer Claire Mathon also evokes the neoclassical palette of Rohmer’s The Marquise of O. Instead, it’s as sentimental and predictable as Carol .
La Haine (1995)
Directed by Mathieu Kassovitz
influenced by Boyfriends and Girlfriends (1987)
Visuals
But the concrete suburbs where Kassovitz sets his film (the same sterile settings that were home to Eric Rohmer's cosmically different “ Boyfriends and Girlfriends ” in 1987) give back nothing.
Yet some films made of them are funnier (''Monty Python and the Holy Grail'') and more stimulating (Robert Bresson's ''Lancelot of the Lake'' and Eric Rohmer's ''Perceval'') than others, including the foolish screen version of the musical ''Camelot'' and now John Boorman's big, solemn, grandiose ''Excalibur.''
On Rohmer, rather than any one film
Baker has admitted the influence of Éric Rohmer, and he uses a dilemma typical of the director here – that of a character who as fallen into a trap from which she must escape.
