UW Cinematheque - Summer (Le Rayon Vert)

A recently jilted young Parisian woman (Rohmer’s co-writer Rivière) takes a solo vacation but is frustrated in every attempt at human connection. The fifth of Rohmer’s “Comedies and Proverbs” cycle is a brilliant and witty character study of an independent but insecure heroine. “The best film of the year [1986].  A singularly ennobling episode in the history of cinema."
