5.0 out of 5 stars A film that will appeal to Rohmer fans, 16 Nov 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: A Summer's Tale [VHS] [1996] (VHS Tape)
This is a typical Rohmer movie exploring what appears to be average people going through average experiences. And how well he does it! A young man goes to the Seaside and meets a young woman. Theres no need for special effects or eroticism to tell a simple story of , well does love happen or not? To be honest it doesn't matter its an absorbing story, the young man could be me or you (well 20 years ago it could have been me!). I've met young women like that and spent all our time talking and not going anywhere. Then it didn't matter.

The story is well shot and the actors perform in a most natural way. The way in which there is an almost washed out effect to the film adds to the atmosphere by reminding me of those old postcards at the seaside.

I have watched many Rohmer movies and look forward to the next one, I haven't seen a bad one.

4.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful film..., 14 Aug 2006
By Bel Alcat "bel_78" (Buenos Aires, Argentina) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
"A Summer's tale" is the story of a young man and three women. All in all, not much happens, but I simply couldn't help finding this film engaging. The dialogues are beautiful, specially in some scenes, for example when one of the characters says that he can communicate well with others, but that he is not sure of being really himself when interacting with a lot of people.

The main character is a young musician named Gaspard (Melvil Poupaud). Gaspard doesn't know what to do, or whom he would like to be with. He thinks he is in love with capricious Lena (Aurelia Nolin), and goes on holidays to Dinard hoping to find her there. At Dinard, Gaspard meets a young waitress who also happens to be an ethnologist, Margot (Amanda Langlet). Margot quickly becomes his friend, and introduces him to Solene (Gwenaëlle Simon), an attractive and outgoing woman that Gaspard begins to date. Things become complicated when Lena arrives to Dinard, at the same time Gaspard is dating Solene and he realizes he has feelings for Margot. What can a charming but indecisive man do? Well, watch this film and discover it!

On the whole, I can say that I loved "A Summer's tale", the third film in Eric Rohmer's "Four Seasons" cycle. In a nutshell, it is beautiful film, the kind that makes you forget you are watching a movie and turns you into part of whatever is happening. I can only hope that "An Autumn tale" is nearly as good!
