First of all, let's say that Eric Rohmer deserves a 7 foot, solid gold Oscar, because he is one of the very last directors NOT to use Hollywood music. Or better: elevator muzak. He does not use music at all, unless someone within the story is singing or playing or listening.
No need here for external cues to explain to the viewer what's happening on screen. What a terrible shame Rohmer is the last to do so !!!
The cinematography of this SUMMER TALE flows magnificently, playing with the backdrop of beautiful Brittany. There are no hard or harsh cuts; no need for welding goggles to sit through this movie !
This is a small yet honest tale: the protagonists talk, rather than babble or throw comic book lines at each other.
A SUMMER'S TALE is not an epic, nor depicting a world changing event or some bigger than life humdrum. In all its subtlety and sincerity it is something that could happen to all of us.
Thank you Monsieur Eric Rohmer for yet another wonderful film.
