Movie Reviews of A Tale of Springtime
Movie Review: It Looks Like It Is Going to Be a VERY Long Year
Summary: 1 Stars
I really don't like it when I get to the end of a movie and wonder why it was even made. Indeed, this movie moved so slow I think it took just short of an eternity to watch it! My wife, literally, longed for it to come to the end. We both found the conversations to be mostly overly verbose and insignificant to moving the story along. There isn't anything in it that would be against traditional family values. The reason we watched it is because the daughter was eighteen years old, and I'm working on a book on movies about kids. I'd say the best that could be said of this movie is that it does give the feeling of being the 'third wheel' or the 'odd woman out.' This is supposed to be the first in a series of four seasons; if so, it is going to be a very, very long year.
Summary of A Tale of Springtime
Oscar?(r)-nominated* writer/director Eric Rohmer (Pauline at the Beach) delivers this 'splendid, engaging, delightful revelation (The Village View) that sparkles with humor andsizzles with romance. Heightened by the splendor of the French countryside, A Tale of Springtime is radiantly alive, blissfully awareand among the most beautiful and enlightening [films] in world cinema (Los Angeles Times)! The well-ordered life of Jeanne, a high school philosophy teacher, suddenly spins into disorder when a young stranger she meets at a party involvesher in a devilish scheme. Natacha, an adolescent pianist with a penchant for subtly playing her elders, invites Jeanne to her father's home...hoping to make a match of the two and send her father's current lover, Eve, packing. But when the tempestuous Eve arrives at every chance meeting between Jeanne and Natacha's father, fireworks of an entirely different sort erupt, and everyone is forced toexamine his or her own philosophies on love, relationships and other sordid affairs of the human heart. *1970: Story and Original Screenplay, My Night at Maud'sArt House & International DVD Video
