Story
Mathieu lives in Paris, Alice, Paris
They have a brief fling, and then each goes their separate ways.
To wash away his melancholy, Mathieu goes to a thalasso, where he happens to meet Alice
When Mathieu gets the call from the theater director whose production he has abandoned, the director’s voice is played by filmmaker Stéphane Brizé himself.
It has plenty of poignant and melancholic moments, but remains quite melancholy and lighthearted throughout
Winter Moon Rising Written by Michael Alan Levine and Samuel B Levine, Out of Season is a character-driven romantic drama that really hits the mark.
There’s a distinct “Before” vibe present, and Canet and Rohrwacher are really at the top of their game here, delivering a nuanced portrayal of somewhat lonely characters being carried away by nostalgic memories
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a touching romantic drama, and Out of Season/Out of Season not only finds a decent balance between the elements, but stands out for being a mature and emotional film.
