Last Summer

What: Movie, 104 mins.
When: Fri., June 28
Where: In theatres
Genre: Drama
Why you should go: Controversial French director Catherine Breillat returns with her first film in a decade, the provocative and nuanced Last Summer. Despite being a remake of the Danish film Queen of Hearts, this film is all Breillat — intimate and fearless in its examination of desire and sex. The film follows a successful married defence attorney whose life is turned up-side down when her 17-year-old, troublemaker stepson moves in. As an affair develops between the two, Breillat keeps them in precise, unforgiving frames that shift the bucolic beauty of her luxurious French country home into something fraught and full of desire, transgression and manipulation.
