Directed by Eric Rohmer • 1983 • France
Starring Amanda Langlet, Arielle Dombasle, Pascal Greggory
The third installment in director Eric Rohmer’s cycle of Comedies and Proverbs unfolds with the languorous air of a summer holiday. Fifteen-year-old Pauline (Amanda Langlet) gets a firsthand look at the hypocrisies and duplicities that define adult relationships during a seaside vacation on the coast of Normandy with her looking-for-love older cousin Marion (Arielle Dombasle). A work of light-filled lyricism and clear-eyed human insight, PAULINE AT THE BEACH is Rohmer at simultaneously his most charming and rueful.
