Jacques Rozier's camera gazes fondly upon a trio of city demoiselles dallying seaside for an off-season month's vacation. Rozier is a master of sidelong humor, amiably aimless meanderings of plot, and understated hints at character and relationships. It's a 1969 slice-of-life set in an atmospherically elderly beach villa, and nothing much happens while all kinds of things happen?endless giggles, small rivalries, gorging on sweets while nattering about diets, and the intusion of males, of course. The young boss of one of the girls just happens to turn up, but Self-Important Businessman is no match for his rival, Self-Assured Sporting-Man. The former's preparation of a wonderful and wholly unappreciated dinner is a masterpiece of droll cinematic perception.
