Summer Rain is a lushly romantic, beautifully crafted paean to young men coming of age in southern Spain in the 1970s. We follow the lives of three young men--each of whom must confront his past, as well as his future, while indulging in the expected pursuits of youth on the threshold of adulthood, especially, of course, love and sex. And as each discovers what life`s erratic fortunes have in store for him, they must venture forth, leaving this past and their youthful indiscretions behind. (official distributor synopsis)

I was quite curious about Antonio Banderas as a director, but after watching his film I have to say I was very disappointed. I found it outrageously long-winded and full of unfulfilled attempts at poeticization and intense expression of feelings. None of the characters appealed to me in any significant way, nor was I able to empathise with any of them. A film that pretends to be something it is not - it is too shallow and does not go into depth at all, which is what I would expect from a film like this.
