Éric Rohmer’s A Summer’s Tale (1996) follows Gaspard, a recent mathematics graduate, through several weeks of summer holiday on the Brittany coast. He arrives expecting to meet one young woman, befriends another and is introduced to a third. What follows is less a conventional romance than a study of young adults discovering how uncertain they can be about one another and themselves.
Rohmer gives them room to find out. They walk beaches, eat together, make music, talk, flirt and make plans that may or may not survive another day. There are no grand institutions directing their choices and little technology competing for their attention. Place, weather, conversation and unstructured time do most of the work.
For educators and essential works staff whose professional lives are governed by calendars, classrooms and obligations, the film offers a gentle reminder: summer also provides time for friendship, courtship and possibilities that cannot be scheduled.
Yesterday kicked off astronomical summer in the Northern Hemisphere. This time of year, the summer triangle rises into view in the night sky. Between these stars, amazing deep-sky objects are visible with a telescope, including the Ring and Veil Nebulas. pic.twitter.com/WznMmSrXj5
