While the more celebrated New Wave directors were making love triangle films too dreary, chatty and cerebral for believability, Rozier, by far their superior, made another widely ignored masterpiece in Near Orouet. Totally unlike his compatriots' works, his portrait of giggling and screaming babes on their vacation is a realistic one, two and a half hours long but without a single redundant frame. It has subtle, subtle psychology and symbolism together with absolute authenticity.
