- Synopsis
- Du côté d'Orouët, a nearly three hour film of a trio of young girls taking their summer vacation at a villa on the coast, spends its great deal of time on other concerns. These, namely, are an evocation of ease and freedom of activity, the rare tactile impression of air existing between his characters—a style that seems to invite such descriptions as "a study of youthful behavior" but posits no poignancy based on how they behave and instead just observes them, day to day. Taking place over three weeks separated almost arbitrarily with haphazard daily title cards, title cards dividing innocuous activities (such as a visit to a farm), dates, and times of day, Rozier's narrative sidesteps obvious spectacle events—the girls attending a local casino with one man, and later a night club with another—for such non-events as a day's excursion on a sail boat, the procurement of pastries and the playing of cards on a windy night, the preparation for cooking a rather large eel, and other such not-quite-quotidian, not-quite-plot-points during the vacation.
