Summer Saturn

About This Movie

Summer Saturn is this contemplative piece that captures the essence of fleeting moments and the weight of time. The backdrop of Lisbon adds an atmospheric layer, with its cobblestone streets and warm light. Samuel, a musician on the brink of a life shift, finds himself in a delicate dance with Teresa, his girlfriend's mother. Their chemistry is palpable yet understated, creating an intriguing tension. The pacing is measured, allowing the silence between them to speak volumes, which is quite distinctive. While the performances are nuanced, it’s the way the film explores aging and intimacy that lingers. Practical effects take a backseat here; instead, it’s all about the emotional landscapes and the rawness of human connection. Definitely a film that leaves you with more questions than answers.
