A Summer's Tale
Opisy(1)
Gaspard (Melvil Poupaud), a recent university graduate, arrives at the seaside in Bretagne for three weeks' vacation before starting a new job. He's hoping his sort-of girlfriend, the fickle Léna (Aurélia Nolin), will join him there; but as the days pass, he welcomes the interest of Margot (Amanda Langlet, the titular character from Rohmer's Pauline at the Beach), a student of ethnology working as a waitress for the summer. Things start to get complicated when the spoken-for Margot encourages Gaspard to have a summer romance with her friend, Solène (Gwenaëlle Simon), and he complies. When Léna turns up, and scheduling complications abound, Gaspard will have to make a choice... Rohmer's characteristically light touch allows his characters to discourse on love and friendship, even as their body language complicates and even contradicts their words. Diane Baratier's cinematography perfectly captures the languor of youth and the feeling of a French beach vacation the sea, the sunlight and the lovely surroundings convey the openness of a world of possibilities faced by these young people.

A story that will be familiar to anyone who has tried to play it on multiple sides at least once in their life. A positive spectacle that gives precise instructions on how to best enjoy summer, with the main character being a guy who can't choose between a sincere likeable girl, a spoiled brat, and a hysterical pseudo-girlfriend. But we all occasionally make similar illogicalities. Furthermore, I thank the creators for an unexpectedly realistic and yet pleasant ending, the screenwriter simply had to experience this.
