A Tale of Summer

Conte d'été


Dir. Eric Rohmer, 1996, 113 min

With Melvil Poupaud, Amanda Langlet, Gwenaëlle Simon

In French with English subtitles


Based on events from director Eric Rohmer’s youth, this film follows amateur musician Gaspard (Melvil Poupard) to a picturesque seaside resort on the coast of Brittany. There, three women (Amanda Langlet, Aurelia Nolin, Gwenaëlle Simon) each offer the possibility of romance—yet Gaspard’s inability to commit to just one places all of his chances at love in jeopardy.
