A respected lawyer risks family, career and integrity when she begins a dangerous affair with her troubled teenage stepson.
Anne is a brilliant lawyer who appears to have everything: a successful career, an elegant Paris home, a husband and two young daughters. But when Théo, her husband’s troubled teenage son, moves in, Anne is drawn into a forbidden affair that threatens to destroy her family and professional life. LAST SUMMER is a provocative study of desire, deception and accountability.
Rialto Recommends LAST SUMMER marks Catherine Breillat’s bold return to the territory she knows best: sexuality as both wound and weapon. With Léa Drucker giving a cool, unreadable performance, the film turns scandal into something far more disturbing - a precise, unsettling portrait of power, self-deception and the moral cost of wanting what cannot be defended.
