Film Review: Last Summer

 

                       Last Summer

There’s passion, unfulfilled desire, sex and lots of lust in Catherine Breillat’s provocative “Last Summer,” opening on July 12 at downtown’s Digital Gym Cinema.

Léa Drucker plays Anne, an attorney married to boring businessman Pierre (Olivier Rabourdin). Anne is definitely bored herself, so much so that she even considers taking up with Pierre’s randy teenager Théo (Samuel Kircher) when he pushes her buttons.

Of course, the setting in la belle France doesn’t hurt, but it’s the shockingly shifting power dynamics and the fine acting that will keep you intrigued and wondering how it will end. 

“Last Summer” opens on Friday, July 12 at downtown’s Digital Gym Cinema (1100 Market Street). Here’s the phone number: (619) 230-1938.

Prices: $12 general, $10 students and seniors, $9 members.
