L'Été dernier, Catherine Breillat (France, 2023)

Anne, a brilliant lawyer, lives in perfect harmony with her husband Pierre and their six and eight-year-old daughters, in a house on the heights of Paris. One day, seventeen-year-old Theo, Pierre’s son from a previous marriage, moves in with them. Anne is intrigued by Theo and gradually engages in a passionate relationship with him, putting her career and family life in danger.

Always electric and provocative, Catherine Breillat returns with a film that raises the temperature and transports viewers to a summer in which a woman begins to feel a dangerous attraction to her partner's teenage son.

Film will be screened in original version (French) with Spanish subtitles.

Catherine Breillat

This year's retrospective at the D'A film Festival is dedicated to the brilliant and transgressive French director Catherine Breillat whose electric and evocative new film L'Été dernier (France, 2023) will be screened alongside a selection of her films.

Breillat is one of the great references of contemporary erotic cinema. Her work abounds with an incisive and epidermal look at sex and its aspects. Her filmography goes from luminous comedies to sordid thrillers. She has directed fifteen films, many of which have been part of the official sections of Cannes, Berlin and Chicago, where she won the Golden Hugo award for Best Film for À ma soeur!
