Summertime (2015)
(La belle saison)
Country: FR/BEL
Technical: col/2.35:1 105m
Director: Catherine Corsini
Cast: Cécile de France, Izïa Higelin, Noémie Lvovsky
Synopsis:
A Limousin farmer's daughter makes hay with a feminist schoolteacher in the early 70s, but city and country mores make uneasy bedfellows.
Review:
Fashionable lesbian romance with political leanings. The idyllic picture of a Limousin summer, in which the farm is kept up by a band of women, is belied by the reactionary values ultimately voiced by the mother. The peasant girl's return home to family values and inheritance is seen as a retrograde step denying her true nature, but blood is thicker than water, as they say, and the ending seems a little glib.
