Synopsis

Shot in 1960, Rozier’s film had to wait two years to get a release and even longer for its immense charm and honesty to be recognised. The hero, Michel, plans one last fling before being sent to Algeria on military service. Only slowly does he realise that the girls he takes with him on holiday love him for who he is, not for what he pretends to be. –BFI

It would be good to watch the film if the mubi hadn't switched to this new idiotic streaming system.

Seems to look back to "L'Avventura" while keeping pace with "Jules et Jim" and paving the way for "Bande a part". Maybe "Masculine Feminine" also owes a debt.

An important if little known Nouvelle Vague film. The youthful spirit of the story about a young man, his two female companions and his last summer of freedom embodies the movement perfectly.

If I learned one thing from watching Blue jeans and Adieu Philippine, it is that Rozier is fantastic at shooting dance scenes. But alas, I learned more than one thing from watching Adieu Philippine…  read review

I was expecting more from this film, but it was still a great ride.

It’s chaotic, it’s fun, it’s sophomoric. On the one hand, some of the visuals are beautiful and perfectly pitched: some of…  read review
