A drama directed by Eric Rohmer.
A Parisian woman gets time off of work to go on vacation with her fiance, but just before the vacation he dumps her. She takes the time off anyway and travels from place to place, never really being comfortable with the situations there and always leaving very quickly. At a beach, she hears some people talking about a mythical green ray of the sun that is seen when it sets. This green ray is supposed to give the viewer understanding of themselves and others.
The style of this film was great and the pacing was very slow. There was only one main character, but that worked for the better. On the topless Euro-beach, there is only 1 breast shot and they are saggy and pointy (not my preference). This is a nice change from all the popular, cheesy '80s films I've been watching. I'm rating it good.
