His family remained unaware of his film career for decades because he kept it secret to protect himself from disapproval by his conservative relatives. His mother died without knowing her son was a famous film director.
The cycle began with The Bakery Girl of Monceau released in 1963 and concluded with Love in the Afternoon in 1972. Each film follows a man tempted by a second woman but returning to his original partner.
Weather services dictated daily filming schedules because he considered his films slaves to meteorology. Rohmer shot scenes chronologically according to weather conditions outside his studio windows.
La Collectionneuse won the Jury Grand Prix at the 17th Berlin International Film Festival in 1967. The Green Ray premiered on Canal Plus TV before becoming a theatrical hit in 1986 and won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival that same year.
