..SUMMER HOURS (L'heure d'été) is more of a reverie
than a story for a film. This very French film touches the subject of family
- the meaning and influence and contradictions - in an examination of coping
with the death of the matriarch and her wishes versus the intentions of the
iblings. Writer/Director Olivier Assayas seems less interested in allowing
the viewer to get to know the individuals of the story than he is with
conveying the vacuum of death and the aftermath of dealing with it in the
setting. |
