I came to notice the talent of Olivier Assayas when I was stunned by "Clouds of Sils Maria". That was a reflection of what it means to be an actress, but a multilayered reflection bearing on many themes.
Similarly, this "L'heure d'été" (Summer Hours) is a reflection on the passing of generations and on the life of art objects, but with many other themes. Among these is the unpublicized strength of the younger French generations, which I have witnessed for half a century (I'm 80), and which runs implicit in this film - contrary to the prevalent doxa of a decaying country.
Altogether a very sensitive film, not quite a masterpiece (as, in my opinion, is "Clouds of Sils Maria") but very close. Maybe it is too French!

The scenery is gorgeous. The plot is not bad, but nigh implausible at times. What disturbs me is the much overscripted intrication between family and police business: this may be deliberate (many police procedurals do it with good effect), but in that case it does not work. The mother-vs-daughter, wife-vs-ex-husband dialogues are rife with screams (inside the police station...) and the exes are almost part of the police investigation. Too much is too much.
In spite of this, the film is quite watchable. The actors and the scenery almost salvage the script! Alexandra Vandernoot is gorgeous and her 'ex-husband' (Antoine Dulery) is a natural for the role. 6/10 __ .
