Last Summer
Directed by Catherine BreillatCast: Clotilde Courau, Léa Drucker, Olivier Rabourdin, Samuel Kircher, Serena Hu
French filmmaker Catherine Breillat is known for her provocative films, and erotic thriller LAST SUMMER continues that tradition. Lea Drucker plays powerful lawyer Anne who is seemingly happily married to her husband Pierre. When Pierre’s estranged step son Theo, a 17-year-old with a disregard for authority, moves in with them, Anne is inextricably drawn to the teenager. Anne and Theo begin an illicit affair that leads to a web of lies. Whereas other filmmakers might shy away from discomfort and taboo, Breillat leans in, dissecting this relationship and digging deep into the detached morals of the woman at its center.
