Faustine and the Beautiful Summer (1972)
An Aesthetic & Romantic coming-of-age film, featuring French Cutie Muriel Català, about that slow country summer vacation that many seem to have missed.
Young french teen Faustine goes for holidays to her grandfather’s farm in the French countryside.
A dream cast: Isabelle Adjani, Francis Huster, Georges Marchal, Jacques Weber, etc. A wonder of cinematography by Ghislain Cloquet (Oscar, BAFTA, César for “Tess”) and the OMG! lovely Muriel Català.
Lame script, dumb acting… BUT watch this juiced film for the Beauty of French Country Nature and the Young Nymphet Faustine.
It’s an Aesthetic and Romantic film, conveying the feeling that Josh Pyke expressed in his song “The summer.” The movie is precisely about that summer that so many people seem to have missed in their lives. This movie is about adorable young people, French countryside and lazy, carefree days.
