French film maker Rohmer dies at 89: producer

French film maker Eric Rohmer, director of the critically acclaimed "Tales of Four Seasons" series, died on Monday at the age of 89, his producer Margaret Menegoz told AFP.

Rohmer's films, including the four-part "seasons" series which was widely distributed abroad, explored relationships and love affairs with understated performances and delicate attention to visual detail.
