User Reviews

Boy, does the title explain everything about this film.

Two French people meet at a beach house. They look longingly at each other, they create long pauses, they say next to nothing, they play mind games. In short, they behave like no other people you're likely to have run into.

The beach is beautiful, but this film takes itself much too seriously ! There is really no plot, other than what I have mentioned. The two actors are attractive enough, but they don't engage the viewer. And one fails to understand what they see in each other.

There is a beach, and, boy, is the film moody. Luckily this movie is NOT available on VHS or DVD. You really have more important things to do with your time.
