你有你在法國南部海灘曬太陽攤抖，她在同一天空下過著陽光燦爛的黑暗歲月。打份沒有前途的工，愛個沒有前途的人，家有不是之母，羨慕每個弄潮兒的繽紛生活，碰上看來不錯的男人但又猶豫不決，戲中幾多成份是你我的自白？茱妮露柏歌浮借海灘描寫女人心事，美得不可方物，順理成章以新導演姿態奪得康城影展金攝影機獎。

Bord de Mer takes place in a small coastal town on the Bay of Somme. The year-round inhabitants find ways to make their lives work; Paul, a lifeguard in the summer, works at the grocery all winter. His mother, Rose likes to play the slots in anytime; his girlfriend Marie works in the local factory and watching the summertime vacationers each year just makes her increasingly curious about what else might be out there. Bord de Mer is a subtle piece with accurate and funny observations that won the Golden Camera at Cannes Film Festival in 2002.

At the center of the film is the friendship between two gracefully middle-aged women: Vineyard owner Magali, blunt and compact, is currently unattached. Isabelle, willowy and slightly ditzy, is married — and would like to see Magali happily wed. A matchmaking scheme via the personal ads leads to a gentle, amusing, yet increasingly profound romantic confusion. Autumn Tale rounds off a set devoted to the four seasons. Rohmer has the kind of adornment-free clarity that many great artists develop after a lifetime's worth of craft, but Autumn Tale is the best of the bunch: a warm, quiet masterpiece.
