Summer's Tales

[greennui]

Another seasonal thread, this time I'm looking for films that capture the breezy fleetingness or the fleeting breeziness of summer. Examples:

Rohmer is obviously the OG (Pauline at the Beach, A Summer's Tale, La Collectionneuse, My Girlfriend's Boyfriend and etc...)
Du côté d’Orouët (Rozier)
A Brighter Summer Day (Yang)
At the First Breath of Wind (Piavoli)
Elvira Madigan (Widerberg)

À Flor do Mar !

Casa de Lava ?

[MrCarmady]

Great idea for a thread! Rohmer is obviously the master as you've said, and kenji seems to agree. For your perusal:

A much less breezy film but Do the Right Thing immediately came to mind. Ditto for Wake In Fright.

Oh, how about Alle Anderen or Mein langsames Leben?

Capricious Summer (Jiri Menzel)
Summertime (David Lean)

The Long, Hot Summer (Ritt)



Call Me by Your Name (Guadagnino)

[greennui]

what about that assayas Après mai

seems appropriate

Most def. The closing song, Decadence by Kevin Ayers is a song that I seem to return to every summer.

The Endless Summer (1966)
Point Break (1991)
That Day, on the Beach (1983)

spring to mind for breezy vibes

Capricious Summer (Jiri Menzel)

just watched this one. can affirm the summer of the title is accurate. breeziness and fleetingness also abound. fans of smiles of a summer night would delight

[MrCarmady]

Major summer vibes in Picnic on the Grass!

[greennui]

I've been torn on watching Picnic on the Grass all month. I want a colorful film titled picnic on the grass to be sensuous yet it's directed by Renoir, so I just know it's gonna be a farce that I won't vibe with, kinda like A Day in the Country.

[MrCarmady]

It's both a not particularly funny farce and quite sensuous so YMMV.
