Very light entertainment from Eric Rohmer, in the "Comedies and Proverbs" series. Six people, three of each sex, pursue their individual ideas of love, on or near the Normandy beach. They pursue little else. Swimming, sailing, and windsurfing are spoken of, even engaged in, but only off screen. It is amour, amour, and more amour, and it is all a little suffocating. The characters talk at great length and with the usual Rohmer dosages of over-intellectualization, self-delusion, and plain folly excepting the wise, ethical, and unaffected teenage couple, especially excepting the female half of it. But the actors, excepting again the female teen (Amanda Langlet), are rather less appealing than Rohmer's usual. With Arielle Dombasle. (1983) — Duncan Shepherd
