It’s frustrating to watch a film that’s ostensibly

It’s frustrating to watch a film that’s ostensibly headed along a particular trajectory but that continually stumbles on the path it takes to get there. That’s precisely what happens in this period piece coming out/coming of age story set in 1938 Italy. Writer-director Laura Luchetti’s adaptation of Cesare Pavese’s 1949 novel about an impressionable 17-year-old dressmaker (Yile Yara Vianello) who becomes romantically infatuated with an artist’s model (Deva Cassel) takes its own sweet time (and plenty of overlong detours) in making its way toward a seemingly foregone conclusion. But, even when this offering apparently approaches that destination, it takes yet another unexpected left-field turn and subsequently leads to what the filmmaker herself admits is a deliberately ambiguous conclusion. Consequently, this is the kind of movie that’s likely to leave many viewers scratching their head and asking, “What’s the point of all this?” The picture is allegedly intended to address a subject that was considered taboo at the time of the story’s setting and of the book’s writing, but that objective isn’t fulfilled nearly as clearly as it might have been. As a result, whatever lofty intentions might have been behind the initiation of this production, they’re decidedly obscured in the final cut. There are also some passing references to the fascist sociopolitical conditions of the time (elements not included in the source material), but they’re never developed much, making their inclusion look like throwaway afterthoughts. To its credit, “The Beautiful Summer” has some fine cinematography, well-chosen location settings showcasing the beauty of Turin and a stirring soundtrack, but, if these attributes are the best that one can say about the film, that’s not saying much about the picture overall. Luchetti’s third feature outing truly needs ample retooling to make it work, because, as it stands, it doesn’t.

Slow-paced and beautiful

This movie is slow-paced and captures the feelings of coming to terms with your sexuality well. I was hoping to see even more passion between the two women but we unfortunately only saw straight love-making and a few kissing and staring scenes between the women. The movie felt like a painting and it was directed beautifully, maybe that's all we need.

(Sexual) Awakening

No pun intended - the character may be 17 (allegedly), but I am certain the actress is or rather was an adult when this was shot. Now some may be a bit more sensitive to that nature, that's why I am pointing this out - because she not only will engage in ... love making acts, but also reveal her upper body a few times.So you have been warned - though also do not get too excited! This is not that sort of film. I am certain you will be able to find something along your liking if you look for that sort of entertainment. Back to this, the main character is getting her first glimpse of female sexuality ... which awakens something in her. Beautiful summer ... well it is not everything beautiful (the individuals themselves are very much so though).Well acted and the tension and drama are well balanced. With enough twists and turns to keep you interested ... also character decisions of course ... relationships and falling outs ... youth is wasted on the young? Well be that as it may ... they should enjoy it fully ...
