Synopsis
Last Summer (L'Été dernier, 2023) is a French drama by Catherine Breillat you can watch online on iFILM. Anne is a successful lawyer, settled into suburban Paris life with her husband Pierre and their two young daughters. The balance breaks when Theo — Pierre's 18-year-old son from a previous relationship — moves in for the summer.
Breillat doesn't make the story comfortable. Anne, played by Léa Drucker, is neither helpless nor monstrous — just a woman who chooses, then lives with it. Samuel Kircher plays Theo as restless and magnetic, a presence the household was not built to absorb. The film runs 104 minutes and keeps the tension close to the surface throughout.
Winner of the Jury Prize in the Un Certain Regard section at Cannes 2023. Stream Last Summer online on iFILM.
