A SUMMERS TALE PLAYING AT 8:45 ON SATURDAY/ SUNDAY & THURSDAY JULY 12, 13, & 17th “ Rohmer has a genius for taking a seemingly mundane situation and slowly tightening the screws... Think of it as a thriller by Hitchcock—a Rohmer favorite—only with words, not knives, that cut straight to the heart.” –Keith Uhlich, Time Out New York “A Summers Tale feels like a great beach read of a movie...The Rohmer touch consists of nonchalance and effortless sensuality, not just in the people, but also in the landscape, somehow even in the air... A Summers Tale makes obvious this directors influence on the epic walk-and-talks and romantic inquisitions of latter-day Richard Linklater...Its a merciful vision, and a vacation we all deserve. –Jonathan Kiefer, The Village Voice “Vintage Rohmer, his most richly satisfying film in a number of outings. Precisely and fully playing out the intimate implications of a chaste ménage a quatre, the vet French auteur may also have served up his most commercial entry in more than a decade...” –Todd McCarthy, Variety “The sunniest and funniest of Rohmer’s seasonal tales...wonderfully witty...Rohmer provides insights aplenty into matters of love, friendship, fidelity, loneliness, luck, destiny and desire....” –Time Out London “A beautiful and bittersweet romantic comedy from the evergreen French writer/director....Rohmer never patronizes his twentysomething creations and their emotional dilemmas, and the cast respond with winningly naturalistic performances.” –Tom Dawson, BBC
