Our Eternal Summer

About This Movie

Our Eternal Summer is this raw and tender exploration of youth. Emilie Aussel captures that bittersweet essence of being 18—those sun-drenched days and the heavy nights that seem to stretch forever, juxtaposed with the stark reality of loss. The pacing allows you to really sink into the characters' lives, letting moments linger just enough to feel their weight. The performances are heartfelt, bringing a grounded authenticity to the script. It’s not overly stylized, which gives it a refreshing realism. The cinematography, with its natural light and intimate framing, phases in and out of dreamy sequences, enhancing the theme of fleeting moments. There’s a distinct sense of nostalgia without being overly sentimental, which is quite a feat.
