Lovely, like all of Rohmer's seasonal films. I discovered them very recently, but I was living in France around this time and I think this film is such a fantastic representation of the end of the '90s in rural France, and it hasn't changed a lot as I still go back to the vineyard region, and this captures the whole spirit and the kind of people you meet there beautifully. I always think Rohmer's films feel extremely real, all the people in them are very authentic and I like the way that, as usual, he explores the places in between the very stark relationships portrayed by Hollywood. If anybody has ever captured real France, then it's in this film. And it's so refreshing to just enjoy a film that feels like a very natural vignette, I wouldn't have minded even less of a romantic plot, it's just nice to be with these characters for a few afternoons and evenings in the middle of nowhere.
