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.

Relatives said he had been hospitalised a week ago but did not give further details of his condition.

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.
