The Sign of Leo

1962
Directed by Eric Rohmer

Cast

Jess Hahn Van Doude

Plot

A man waits for an inheritance and becomes a vagrant in Paris.

Sinekatalog’s take

Eric Rohmer's first feature has a man waiting for an inheritance who slides into life as a Paris vagrant when it fails to arrive. Austere and cruel, with a grimy summer city, it is a bitter fable far from the light comedies he became known for.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
