THE GREEN RAY (Le Rayon vert, 1986, Éric Rohmer)

From Rohmer’s “Comedies and Proverbs” cycle, THE GREEN RAY follows the independent but insecure Delphine (Marie Rivière), a newly single young Parisian who cannot find a holiday companion for the month of August, as she meets and rejects, glides and stumbles in her longing for connection. Overhearing a discussion of Jules Verne’s THE GREEN RAY, Delphine becomes fascinated with seeing the elusive meteorological event and the promise that comes with it.
