The Summer House | 1994 | NR | - 4.3.2
Similar in style to last year's "Enchanted April," "The Summer House" is a story about unrequited love.
SEX/NUDITY 4 - Several brief sex scenes, where the people involved are fully clothed (they are done in a comedic fashion, and they are not explicit). A woman daydreams that her fiance serves her breakfast in the nude (the scene is suggestive, but we don't see anything). And several flashback scenes where a young woman thinks about having sex with her lover; no nudity.
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - Only one scene has some gore: There's a human sacrifice/murder scene and a brief shot of a rather bloody woman lying in a crocodile pit with her neck slit.
LANGUAGE 2 - A few mild profanities.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Adultery, murder, growing pains (of young and old).
MESSAGE - If you follow your heart, you can't go wrong.
CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
