Indian Summer (1993): Fall

September 9, 2018

A film with summer in the title that's labeled as fall? What in the world is going on here? This movie follows a group of adults who spent their childhood summers at Camp Tamakwa. When they are invited back by their old camp leader, they are forced to address some unresolved issues while reliving their youth. When they learn that the camp's owner is going to be retiring they feel obligated to take over the camp, but can't leave their busy lives. This movie is a little cheesy and very early 90's feel goody, but I have to say I really enjoy it. It makes me miss summers before technology when things were simple and we didn't have a care in the world. So this movie is set at the end of a summer camp season in Canada, so it's chilly and the leaves are turning. So while it has that summer camp feel of a summer movie, it also has the visuals and ambiance of an autumn film. So I'll probably tag it as both a summer and autumn film, but I think this is best enjoyed on a mid-september evening, with some candles and crisp air floating in the windows.
