5.0 out of 5 stars Quite superb - don't be put off by technical imperfections, 18 Oct 2004
By A Customer
This is one of the very best of Rohmer's films and repays repeated viewings. The whole construction of the story is quite superb and the acting (clearly built up by the cast in detailed rehearsals)is just incredibly compelling. Yes, it was shot on 16mm and there are a few imperfections in the film stock. I have seen the film during its screening at the NFT last year and I can confirm that the DVD transfer is very faithful indeed. If you are a lover of Rohmer's films don't be put off by technical criticisms. Buy and enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Previous review is in error, 17 Feb 2004
By A Customer
I don't know what disc the previous reviewer is looking at, but the new Arrow R2 disc of LE RAYON VERT is very good indeed. The film was originally shot on 16mm so it's never going to look like LOVE ACTUALLY.

If you want to see how bad a DVD of this film can look, see the R1 Fox Lorber disc (called SUMMER in the USA). www.dvdbeaver.com has a superb comparison.

The Arrow disc has removable English subtitles and an excellent transfer. Thoroughly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars "I'm not very operational in life", 14 Jun 2006
By Alcat Garcia "aka bel_78 // A.G. is just an a... (Buenos Aires, Argentina) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Delphine (Marie Rivière) is a young woman that doesn't exactly know what she wants in life, and that is unable to relate well to others. In her own words, "I'm not very operational in life".

That characteristic is specially easy to see when, due to unforeseen circumstances, she goes on holidays alone. She visits many places, but there is always a problem: her. Delphine feels she needs someone to be complete, and gets depressed because she doesn't seem to attract the opposite sex. On the other hand, when young men get near her she rejects them, as they are not what she is looking for. Will that change? And what does the green ray has to do with Delphine's quest for love?

All in all, I can say that I liked this film, and that I simply loved the ending. "The green ray" (or "Le rayon vert", the original French title) is the fifth film in Eric Rohmer's "Comedies and Proverbs" series, and the first film directed by him that I saw. Truth to be told, it was more than good enough to make me want to watch his other films. Of course, recommended.

Belen Alcat

PS: I give this film 3.5 stars out of five. If you like it, try to watch another of Rohmer's films, "Tale of winter" ("Comte d'hiver"), my favourite Rohmer film so far.
