Dir: Éric Rohmer
1986
**
I like the idea of this film, the search for the Green Ray and the very modern idea of having no where to go during the holidays and the desperation of loneliness that can lead to (The French are very big on holidays during the summer, everything shuts down - at least it did back in the day). I spent a lot of my youth in France and our lead character goes to all the holiday destination I used to go to, in fact I was in Biarritz when this was filmed it seems, so 5 out of 5 for personal nostalgia but unfortunately I felt no empathy for Marie and once again Rohmer skips the character development at the expense of the film.
