Time to Play: Films by Jacques Rozier
In early September three young Parisians – Caroline (Caroline Cartier), her cousin Kareen (Françoise Guégan), and Joëlle (Danièle Croisy) – travel to the sparsely populated oceanside town of Orouët for a carefree holiday. At Caroline’s mother’s house they soon take in Gilbert (Bernard Ménez), Joëlle’s boss, and romantic complications inevitably ensue.
Rozier centres Near Orouët as much on the vacation’s languorous atmosphere – and its giddy effect on the friends’ inside jokes and childish slapstick – as its slow-burn plot, capturing both the liberating promise and melancholic effervescence of summer.
