Review of Pauline at the Beach (1983) by Nikolas G — 23 Mar 2008
Amazing handling of its Hitchcokian plot with a beautiful tale of confusing sumer romance. I was totally hooked on this tale of a girl who is totally lost in a world that makes decisions for her and yet, no one does it right.
The film revolves heavily on the theme of desire and being interesting. The girl is not desirable, but her skimpy swimsuit and her figure helps and she is not interesting except for the above fact, but everyone doesn't notice the outside and seems absolutely smitten with her cousin, who gives off the air of being high maintenance and typical.
I love the way the girl discovers each detail and each character having a pro and yet a flaw and each character is just stupid not to relize that Pauline is just not an idiot. A movie that is both charming, witty and very much stamped with Rohmer.
