About This Movie

Break of Day, a 1980 TV movie, unfolds with a soft, introspective tone that immerses you in the languid summertime of Saint-Tropez. The pacing feels leisurely, reflecting the writer's contemplative journey as she tends to her garden, each scene almost a meditation on life and memory. The atmosphere is rich with the vibrancy of nature, which contrasts beautifully with the emotional undertones of desire and uncertainty brought by the arrival of a young man and a restless woman. Adapted from Colette's work, it captures the essence of longing and the complexities of relationships in a way that resonates deeply. The performances are nuanced, evoking a sense of authenticity that draws you into the characters' lives. It's this blend of personal reflection and romantic tension that sets the film apart.
