Le Signe du Lion [The Sign of Leo]

N.p. N.p., Circa 1962. Vintage matte-finish reference photograph from the 1962 film, showing director Éric Rohmer at the far right. Annotations in manuscript ink and provenance label on the verso.

Upon hearing his promised inheritance has been given to a cousin, a man sinks into despair and indigence—only to later hear that the cousin has passed away, and he will finally receive the inheritance. Rohmer's first feature film, shot in the summer of 1959 but not released until 1962, and much-lauded by other luminaries of the French New Wave.

Set and shot on location in Paris.

7 x 5 inches. Very Good plus, lightly age toned.
