Our Eternal Summer: Émilie Aussel’s modest drama follows a group of friends’ summer vacation as they finish high school and get ready to move on to their adult lives, just to have one of them disappear into the sea; the film poetically looks at the effects on them, individually and collectively. It is naturally a sad movie, as eternal hope shifts into grief and something else afterward. The acting by the young cast is quietly effective: Agathe Talrich, as the best friend of the one who disappeared, is very touching; Marcia Feugeas is sweetly lively as that one. Cinematographer Mathieu Bertholet gives the film a lazy, sunny look early on, but captures the poetry of the second half well; editor Mathieu Bertholet mixes a bit with the film’s structure, making it more attractive in the process.
