Le Rayon Vert

Directed by Eric Rohmer

Delphine's travelling companion cancels two weeks before her holiday, so Delphine, a Parisian secretary, is at a loose end.  She doesn't want to travel by herself, but has no boyfriend and seems unable to meet new people.  A friend takes her to Cherbourg; after a few days there, the weepy and self-pitying Delphine goes back to Paris.  She tries the Alps, but returns the same day.  Next it's the beach;  once there she chats with an outgoing Swede, a party girl, and a friendship seems to bud; then suddenly Delphine bolts, heading back to Paris.  As she waits at the Biarritz train station, a young man catches her eye; perhaps a sunset and the sun's green ray await.
