ABOUT:
According to Eric Rohmer, A Tale of Summer is the most autobiographical film that he made. Based on events from Rohmer&s youth, this installment of Tales of the Four Seasons follows amateur musician Gaspard (Melvil Poupaud) to a seaside resort in Dinard, on the coast of Brittany. There, three women (Amanda Langlet, Gwenalle Simon, and Aurélia Nolin) each offer the possibility of romance, but Gaspard&s inability to commit to just one puts all of his chances at love in jeopardy. The film features Rohmer&s wistful observations on indecisiveness and the fickle nature of desire, as brought to life by a talented young cast in a picturesque setting.
