“Watching this film in the start of u0026#39;pride month.u0026#39;nSummertime is an engaging love story in the 70u0026#39;s. This is a very sensitive portrayal of two women from different backgrounds in conservative, rural France. Set in the early 70s in the first flush of modern feminism, the plot is pretty simple and the issue simpler – will they stay together against the pressures of rural society? The film is very realistic as it deals with woman rights and also portrays the societal views on lesbian culture in the 70u0026#39;s. This is a very good representation of LGBTQ in the films.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs I was watching this film, I was very much reminded of another French film, u0026quot;Blue is the Warmest Colouru0026quot; which also deals with similar theme of lesbianism. I really love u0026#39;Blue is the Warmest Colouru0026#39; and is my favourite romance film. However, this film is also a good film with good themes and lesbian representation. This film shows how it is to be a lesbian in a rural France in the 70u0026#39;s, how the society thinks of a girl involving with another girl.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOverall, itu0026#39;s a pretty good film which portrays a really interesting subject matter.”
