Program of two films: Rien sauf l'été by Claude Schmitz and Le film de l'été by Emmanuel Marre. Languid bodies in the middle of a garden, highway rest areas, flowers and gas stations, bike rides, birds chirping, a nightclub, a melon, a beer, a swim... with the sweetness and melancholy of any good summer interlude. These are the movies of the summer. Two beautiful escapes to take the time to live and the time to film.
