Spring Night, Summer Night (1967)
Carl and Jessie are half siblings who feel trapped by the existential and economic pressures of living in the small mining town of Canaan, Ohio. Their shared rebellion soon takes on the form of an illicit love affair depicted in interwoven sequences of lusty poeticism and ethnographic vérité. When Jessie becomes pregnant, the tension between the couple’s youthful vitality and the dire realities of rural society leads to consequences both despairing and hopeful.

Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
