Maurice Henri Joseph Schérer or Jean Marie Maurice Schérer, known as Éric Rohmer (, 21 March 1920〔Rohmer was obsessively private and gave out different dates of birth; other dates that appear in sources include 4 April 1920, 1 December 1920 and 4 April 1923.〕11 January 2010), was a French film director, film critic, journalist, novelist, screenwriter and teacher. Rohmer was the last of the post-World War II, French New Wave directors to become established. He edited the influential film journal, ''Cahiers du cinéma'', from 1957 to 1963, while most of his colleagues – among them Jean-Luc Godard and François Truffaut – were making the transition from film critics to filmmakers and gaining international attention. Rohmer gained international acclaim around 1969 when his film ''My Night at Maud's'' was nominated at the Academy Awards. He won the San Sebastián International Film Festival with ''Claire's Knee'' in 1971 and the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival for ''The Green Ray'' in 1986. Rohmer went on to receive the Venice Film Festival's Career Golden Lion in 2001. After Rohmer's death in 2010, his obituary in ''The Daily Telegraph'' described him as "the most durable film-maker of the French New Wave", outlasting his peers and "still making movies the public wanted to see" late in his career. ==Early life== Rohmer was born Maurice Henri Joseph Schérer (or Jean-Marie Maurice Schérer)〔Dave Kehr ("Eric Rohmer, a Leading Filmmaker of the French New Wave, Dies at 89", ) ''New York Times'', 11 January 2010〕 in Tulle in south central France, the son of Mathilde (née Bucher) and Lucien Schérer.〔(Eric Rohmer Biography (1920?-) ), Film Reference〕 Rohmer was a Catholic.〔〔(The religion of director Eric Rohmer ), Adherents.com〕 He was secretive about his private life and often gave different dates of birth to reporters.〔James Monaco.
