Review of Summertime (1955) by Keenan S — 04 Mar 2013
Summertime is a superb romance film with a simple, but very effective plot mostly due to the phenomenal acting and excellent direction from David Lean. This is one of those films that isn't bombastic, but instead requires the viewer to pay attention to the little details, the subtle aspects, and the interactions between the characters.
If you take the time to do so, you'll find yourself immersed within it, as if you're right there taking a vacation in Venice as well. It's a beautiful and compelling romance film that might seem simple on the surface, but has a lot more to it when you look at what seems like the little things.
I think it's one of the greatest romance films ever made. I highly recommend it if you love a good romance film.
