Sunburnt Egos, Sun-kissed Lies - Pauline at the Beach review by griggs
Sun dappled, deceptively simple, and razor-sharp, this is Rohmer at his most merciless. Everyone’s on holiday, but no one’s relaxed—least of all the adults who lie with alarming ease to preserve their egos. Pauline—a teenager—sees straight through it. There’s sex, yes, but it’s the conversations that are the real seductions—flirtations with truth, half-truths, and whatever makes you feel better. Rohmer’s gift is letting people talk long enough to expose themselves. It’s funny, gently melancholic, and somehow weightier than it seems. You come for the beach. You stay for the moral autopsies.
