Eric Rohmer's new film revisits a classic French novel of the seventeenth century. «L'Astrée» has been described as a leisurely romance, detailing - with profuse and frequent digressions - Céladon and Astrée's love for one another. The story centres around shepherds and shepherdesses from author Honoré d'Urfé's native province of Forez, using the lovely Lignon River as backdrop. The novel's courtly and refined rumination on the nature of love has clearly inspired Rohmer, who is himself a master at dissecting the vicissitudes of the human heart. (...) Rohmer revels in morally complex stories of romantic intent, betrayal and confusion, in which words and actions take on a variety of meanings, depending on one's perspective. (Piers Handling)
