In case you missed the 51st San Francisco International Film Festival favorite, The Romance of Astrea and Celadon , here’s your second chance: the SFFS Screen will show the film, directed by the great French filmmaker Eric Rohmer, beginning Friday, June 27 at the Sundance Kabuki Cinemas with screenings at 11:15 am, 1:45 pm, 4:15 pm, 7:15 pm and 9:45 pm.

As Jason Sanders wrote in the Festival’s Program Guide, "Eric Rohmer has made a career out of treating modern romance like the greatest classical love stories. Witness his tellingly named Six Moral Tales or Comedies and Proverbs series, their regal titles recalling centuries-old tales far more than their characters’ 20th century moments. So it is entirely appropriate for this grand master, now 87, to draw inspiration from the classic 17th century French text (set in fifth century Gaul) The Romance of Astrea and Celadon for his latest film. Gorgeous and sun-kissed, the young shepherd Celadon and the beautiful Astrea are ill-fated lovers, their romance torn asunder by a sudden misunderstanding. An attempt at suicide lands Celadon in the clutches of the sensual Galathea and her handmaidens but a helpful passerby soon gives our hero an idea to reenter Astrea’s life and heart. Filled with nymphs, druids and angels, the film is literally atwitter with the sounds of medieval times — lutes, crickets and waterfalls dominate — and aflutter with its more sensual sights, including countless breezes caressing the billowing shirts of our hero, heroine and sundry nubile lasses."
