About this product

Product Information

Michel Blanc's adaptation of Joseph Connolly's novel SUMMER THINGS/VACANCES ANGLAISES romps through scene after scene of riotous romantic upheaval and treachery. The story follows two eccentric families on holiday together in Touquet, France. One family, however, is privately bankrupt, and can only afford a caravan on the outskirts of town. Casual infidelity and small deceits are the norm, as almost each character, young and old, becomes involved in a summer tryst. Class issues figure widely throughout the film, pressurising relationships to their breaking point, and even driving one of the characters to suicide. Poignant moments of real loneliness complement the silly madness of sex and love, and become the motivation for utter debauchery. Unexpected attractions between disparate characters reinvent the bourgeoisie, or bringing true desire to the surface. As the holiday comes to a close, everyone either seems more resolved about their lives and loves, or driven to new extremes of psychosis, long past help. An incredible ensemble cast makes this well-written film memorable, including director Michel Blanc as Jean-Pierre, a deluded husband, and Charlotte Rampling as Elisabeth, the wise but vulnerable matriarch. Although the film flip-flops between earnest and comedic problems of money, monogamy, and longing, there is clearly only one way to escape from these pressures, and that is to partake in some insatiable bed-hopping. A fizzing French farce.

  • hilariously debauched

    Nothing will startle you by the end of this hilarious, and in places also poignant film. It is in french with English subtitles, and is concerned with the thing the french are supposed to be best at-love. However as the film mostly concerns disastrous relationships and affairs, not to mention a host of unlikely choices of bed partner, the idea is amusingly turned on its head. There is also an astute look at life, and the other thing that makes the world go round- money. All in all an excellent film , I truly emphasised with the characters.

  • Summer Things

    If you like French films you will like this. Charlotte Rampling stars in this comedy about two families holidaying in France, one family with money the other pretending to have money. Subtitled in places.

  • Summer Things

    Delicious French comedy, a hilarious blend of snobbery and infidelity. It's laughs all the way when a posh pair, a hard-up couple, a single mother with a screaming baby, an insanely jealous husband and a nymphomaniac teenager make their holiday plans. Brilliant cast includes Charlotte Rampling.

  • summer things

    knowing that ms.rampling has done a lot of her best work in foreign films tempted this reviewer to buy and in the end he was well rewarded and pleasantly surprised by the rest of the cast's fine acting in this funny and touchingly emotional film.
