Cinephile No. 577 "Summertime"

Reviews
Written By Nathan Box

Right now, I want you to think about your husband, wife, or partner. Try as hard as you can to vividly picture them in your mind. Now, imagine that society didn't allow you two to be together. With that thought in mind, you are prepared for the gripping drama of "Summertime." The film focuses on two French women in the early 70's during the Women's Liberation Movement who fall in love. When one of the women is forced to move back home to her small village, the drama begins. Their secret love is tested in real ways. You, as an audience member, are left to wonder what it will take for these two to be together. Will love triumph or will the pressures of a normal life rule the day? For the answers to those questions, don't look to me. Rather, see this amazing film. 

Be good to each other, 

-Nathan

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
