Movies about women/actors

When filming `` The Green Ray '' (1986), the decision to hire a female crew to relieve the anxiety of Marie Rivière, the lead actress, may have had a considerable influence on Eric Rohmer's creative work.

Following the ``Comedy and Proverbs'' series shot in the 1980s, the ``Season's Story'' series captures the lives of women in a way that is more inseparable from the actors. Even the only exception in the series, `` Summer Story '' (1996), can be interpreted as a story of women passing through youth. A movie for actors. A movie for them. It is suggestive that the ``Season's Story'' series ends with `` Autumn of Love '' (1997), starring Marie Rivière of `` The Green Ray .'' Autumn of life. `` Autumn of Love '' depicts the life of a woman who is no longer young.
