Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

If Eric Rohmer ever went crackers and plunged into porno, the results could be something like this. The hero - suffering, need one say, from awful inhibitions - spends one of those idyllic French summers where everyone talks, drinks, writes journals, drinks, and gives their personal codes a good shake. By the end of it all he is able to treat his heart's desire - a lovely cousin - in the style she deserves. Baratier has seen better days: time was when he wowed the critics with a New Wave/cinéma-vérité send-up called Dragées au Poivre.
