Time in Summer

About This Movie

Time in Summer is a curious piece from '68 that captures the essence of youthful exploration and the fragility of life. Anne, played by Christina O'Brien, navigates the dizzying highs of first love, while her brother Peter, portrayed by Peter Ross, teeters on the brink of catastrophe. The film balances these two narratives with a certain dreamy quality; the pacing is deliberate, allowing the emotions to unfold without rush. There’s a certain rawness in the performances, particularly from O'Brien, who really embodies the naivety and passion of young love. It’s interesting how the film juxtaposes the lightness of romance with the stark reality of danger, giving it a unique tonal contrast that lingers long after viewing.

Time in Summer is quite the elusive title, with very few formats available over the years. It's not one that pops up often for collectors, making it a bit of a hidden gem in the expansive landscape of '60s cinema. Interest seems to grow among those who appreciate more obscure narratives that balance romance with a stark sense of reality, and its scarcity adds to its charm for dedicated collectors.
