“A Tale of Autumn” (Photo – Janus Films)

Set among the golden vineyards of the Rhône Valley, A Tale of Autumn concerns simultaneous schemes to find a new love for the reserved widow and winegrower Magali (Béatrice Romand).

Her son’s girlfriend (Alexia Portal) attempts to pair her with a former professor and lover (Didier Sandre), while Magali’s friend Isabelle (Marie Rivière) assumes a false identity to lure eligible bachelor Gérald (Alain Libolt). The misunderstandings that follow are pure Rohmer in bringing out the humor in human folly.

In French with English subtitles. This event is free with museum admission. No reservations needed. Doors open 30 minutes prior to the screening. The screening will take place in the Norton Simon Museum’s theater.
