Question: Which director was from a geographically smaller country, Éric Rohmer or Robert Stevenson?
Context: Le Beau Mariage ("The Good Marriage") is a 1982 French film directed by Éric Rohmer, starring Béatrice Romand, André Dussollier, Féodor Atkine.  It is one of Rohmer's "comedies and proverbs" ("comédies et proverbes").  Its theme is a proverb from La Fontaine: "Quel esprit ne bat la campagne ?  qui ne fait château en Espagne ?"  (that is, "Who doesn't daydream?  Who doesn't build castles in Spain"). The Bakery Girl of Monceau or The Girl at the Monceau Bakery is a 1963 film by Éric Rohmer.  The original French title is "La Boulangère de Monceau".  The film was the first of Rohmer's Six Moral Tales (Contes moraux), which consisted of two shorts and four feature films. Love in the Afternoon (original title: "L'Amour l'après-midi" and released in North America as "Chloe in the Afternoon") is a 1972 film by Éric Rohmer.  It is the sixth and final movie in Rohmer's "" series. Maestro is a 2014 French comedy-drama film directed by Léa Fazer.  The idea of the film came from co-writer Jocelyn Quivrin's experience of working with director Éric Rohmer in 2006 on Rohmer's last film "Romance of Astree and Celadon".  It stars Pio Marmaï, Michael Lonsdale, Déborah François and Alice Belaïdi. Jacques Rivette (] ; 1 March 1928 – 29 January 2016) was a French film director, screenwriter and film critic.  He wrote and directed twenty feature films, including the two-part "Joan the Maiden", eight short films and a three-part television documentary.  He also acted in small roles and participated in documentaries.  After making his first short film, "Aux quatre coins", in his hometown of Rouen, Rivette moved to Paris in 1949 to pursue a career in filmmaking.  While attending film screenings at Henri Langlois' Cinémathèque Française and other ciné-clubs he gradually befriended many future members of the French New Wave, including François Truffaut, Jean-Luc Godard, Éric Rohmer and Claude Chabrol.  Rivette's association with this group of young cinephiles lead to the start of both his filmmaking career and his work in film criticism.  In collaboration with his new friends, Rivette made two more short films and worked as a cinematographer and editor on films by Rohmer and Truffaut.  He also worked in small roles and as an assistant director to Jean Renoir on "French Cancan" and Jacques Becker on "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves".  During this period he began writing film criticism for the magazine "Gazette du Cinéma" and later "Cahiers du Cinéma", and was one of the most respected writers by his peers. Jean Marie Maurice Schérer or Maurice Henri Joseph Schérer, known as Éric Rohmer (] , 21 March 192011 January 2010), was a French film director, film critic, journalist, novelist, screenwriter and teacher. She began her career on television in "Les 400 coups de Virginie" in 1979, directed by Bernard Queysanne.  A leading rôle in Éric Rohmer's "Pauline at the Beach" followed in 1983, "Elsa,Elsa" directed by Didier Haudepin in 1985, "Rosette cherche une chambre" in 1987 and Christian François's "Sanguine" in 1988.  Again for Éric Rohmer, she played Margot in his "A Summer's Tale" (1996) and Janine in "Triple Agent" (2004).  She has appeared in two films of Michel Deville - "La Divine Poursuite" in 1997 and "La Maladie de Sachs" (Sach's Disease) in 1999.  She played a nurse in Lucas Belvaux's "Mère de Toxico".  In 2008 she took the rôle of Maya in Christine Dory's "Les Inséparables". Pauline at the Beach (French: "Pauline à la plage" ) is a 1983 French film directed by Éric Rohmer.  The film stars Amanda Langlet, Arielle Dombasle, Pascal Greggory and Féodor Atkine.  It is the third in the 1980s series "Comedies and Proverbs" by Rohmer. Tribute to Éric Rohmer (French: "Hommage à Éric Rohmer" ) (a.k.a. "Maurice Schérer") is a short 2010 video commissioned by Les Films du Losange as a tribute to Éric Rohmer by his friend and former colleague Jean-Luc Godard, and is the work that directly precedes the release of the 2010 feature "Film Socialisme" in Godard's filmography.  It was first presented at the Soirée en hommage à Éric Rohmer on February 8, 2010 at the Cinémathèque Française.  The short film consists of various titles of articles that Rohmer wrote for "Cahiers du Cinema" appearing on a black background as Godard's narration muses about brief, fragmented memories of Rohmer.  It ends with a shot of Godard looking directly into the camera, the 16:9 image's aspect ratio suddenly squished into 4:3, as he finishes his monologue. Robert Stevenson (31 March 1905 – 30 April 1986) was an English film writer and director.
