Synopsis of SUMMER:
Declared the best movie of the year in 1986 by Andrew Sarrisa list that also included Hannah and Her Sisters, The Sacrifice, and Vagabond Le Rayon vert is frequently cited as a career triumph in a filmography that includes numerous great films. Rohmer's tale, the fifth in his "Comedies & Proverbs" cycle ("Ah for the days/That set our hearts ablaze" Rimbaud), follows the independent but insecure Delphine (Rivière), a newly single young Parisian who cannot find a holiday companion for the month of August, and meets and rejects, glides and stumbles in her longing for connection. Overhearing a discussion of Jules Verne's The Green Ray, Delphine becomes fascinated with seeing the elusive meteorological event - The Green Ray - and the promise that comes with it. Rohmer stock player Rivière, who also co-wrote her largely self-created role, delivers one of the most captivating lead performances in any of the filmmaker's works.
Synopsis of 4 ADVENTURES OF REINETTE AND MIRABELLE:
Over the course of four episodes, two young women one from the city, the other from the country meet and bond over an exquisite atmospheric event ('The Blue Hour'), and then room together in Paris, where they encounter many of the inevitable characters of a modern city: the impossible waiter ('The Waiter'), the metro station hustler ('The Beggar, the Kleptomaniac and the Hustler'), and the snooty gallery owner ('Selling the Painting').
