Victor Hugo: Les Contemplations (Livres V et VI) (1966)

“Rohmer traveled to the island of Jersey to find and film, alone and with a small Paillard 16mm camera, the places that had inspired some of his favorite poems…. […] Victor Hugo’s “Les Contemplations,” a work reread, walked, and filmed by Éric Rohmer, is in fact one of the filmmaker’s most poetic miniatures.” –Antoine de Baecque & Noël Herpe
