This movie is a mysterious little number starring Jeanne Moreau, an excellent French actress with many decades of remarkable work on her resume. She essentially carries the movie in a laughable, moving and over-the-top character. The story is a little confusing on first viewing (due to flashbacks to Egypt that are a little hard to follow, at first), but stick with it. If you like strong, repressed and hopeful characters mixed into a story of lost love and an expectation of a lackluster future that needs to be fought by a soon-to-be married woman, this might appeal to you. One reviewer expected Enchanted April and wrote a horrible review about this movie, based upon that expectation. The two movies are radically different, and that reviewer missed the mark. Recommendations given by Amazon that "if you like this, you might like that" do not mean to imply the movies are of the same exact nature. It only means to imply that it is of the same general format, like one mafia movie to another. Please ignore that negative review. It is completely without merit. Give this movie a try, if you can get it and especially if you enjoy the incomparable Jeanne Moreau.

summer house
Charming story of a friendship between an older woman with a past and a repressed younger woman who fears being trapped in a conventional life. The character Lily (Jeanne Moreau) is unforgettable. Excellent British cast. Similar in feeling to "Tea With Mussolini" and "Enchanted April".

Never in Hollywood!
A very funny little movie. The ending could never have happened in a Hollywood production . . it is a classic, stereotypical French gem. Everyone gets their up-commance. Jeanne Moreau is perfectly cast and is a delight to watch. See it when you want something to smile at, or to laugh with.
