Last Summer

With her first film in a decade, fearless 75-year-old French auteur Catherine Breillat (Fat Girl) proves she's as provocative as ever with her Cannes-stirring film, which drives down the dark road of uncontrollable passion.


A remarkably nuanced, radiant Léa Drucker (Close) plays Anne, an attorney who has plateaued in her marriage to Pierre (Olivier Rabourdin), a distracted businessman. His son, troubled seventeen-year-old, Theo (Samuel Kircher), from a previous marriage, has recently returned to Pierre's ineffectual and despondent care. When Pierre leaves town for a business trip, Anne and Théo - confined under the same roof for the first time - find themselves in the throes of an unexpected and dangerously lustful affair, threatening the stability of the household.


Music by Kim Gordon heightens the erotic tension of LAST SUMMER, a film that boldly surveys power dynamics, female desire, and fulfillment.
