Cometas - Un verano corso

An open window on the daily life of a Corsican village and on the lives of its inhabitants, during a few days of summer.

Without a real argument, the film shows, in successive portraits, a bit of what fits into the daily life and routine of a small town in Corsica and its people. Some will be able to translate a unique reality of that island, others are global and could be captured in any similar population in the world.

An idea with potential, developed in a competent way but that never really works. It lacks a leitmotif that links all those portraits and that captures the viewer's interest.

Pascal Tagnati's proposal is clear: a static camera to present various scenes that describe the summer stay in a small town in Corsica. From there, the dialogues and stories they compose may or may not catch the viewer. In my case, only at times, sometimes I enter the dynamics of the characters and at other times it leaves me indifferent. It has that feeling of being witnesses of lives whose persistence in memory ends up being ephemeral.
