France released, PAL/Region 0 DVD: LANGUAGES: French ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), English ( Subtitles ), French ( Subtitles ), SPECIAL FEATURES: Black & White, Cast/Crew Interview(s), Featurette, Interactive Menu, Remastered, Scene Access, Trailer(s), SYNOPSIS: Hopes and love and ambitions and friendship in a group of young jazz-loving Parisians. SCREENED/AWARDED AT: Cannes Film Festival, ...Rendezvous in July ( Rendez-vous de juillet ) Review: A delightful little bijou from Monsieur Becker. - A bitter sweet study of a group of young, would-be bohemian, Parisians in the late 40s. Becker, like Melville, was the original new wave, a decade avant, deftly combining traditional studio scenes with new, freewheeling, documentary street scenes. Beck learned his craft well with Renoir, but he has his own distinctive style and voice, and I believe that he inspired both Truffaut and Rivette. The galloping pace is very Antoine Doinel and the theatre rehearsals are reminiscent of, but much lighter than, Rivette's intense psyco-drama. The hand written title cards and the fast delivered dialogue recall the delightful 30s soufflés of Sacha Guitry. There is much fun to be enjoyed: a trip across the Seine in an open topped, amphibious jeep, New Orleans jazz and Blues, and some very spirited dancing in a St. Germain-des-Pres cellar, and an ascent in a Junkers 88, with the young budding explorers trying on pith helmets for size, like a scene from 'Palm Beach Story'. 'Summer Holiday' was never a cool as this! Daniel Gelin is intense and driven, as the aspiring anthropologist-filmmaker, determined to study the pygmies. The delightful poppet that is the twenty-year old Brigitte Auber who, a decade later, would square up face to face with Grace Kelly and lead Carey Grant a merry dance in Hitchcock's 'To Catch a Thief'. I sense a strong autobiographical element at play, with a bourgeois youngster rebelling against conformity, the jealousies, failures and successes of the actor's life. Becker didn't study the pygmies, but rather turned his acute andrological eye on subjects closer to home. A "temps perdu" to be savoured. An excellent print and English subtitles but the extras are only in French, malheureusement, but the film's the thing! Review: Film de 1949 à voir absolument, on y découvre un Maurice Ronet tout jeune!
