The Criterion Collection will release on Blu-ray Catherine Breillat's Last Summer (2023), starring Léa Drucker, Olivier Rabourdin, and Clotilde Courau. The release, which will be part of the Janus Contemporaries series, is scheduled to arrive on the market on February 18.
Description: After a decade-long absence, Catherine Breillat triumphantly returns with an exploration of the themes that have made her one of cinema's most rousing and controversial directors: the ecstasies and wounds of sexuality, and its power to unsettle.
A remarkably inscrutable Léa Drucker plays Anne—an attorney advocating for abused minors—who enjoys an enviable lifestyle with her husband, Pierre (Olivier Rabourdin), a milquetoast businessman and ineffectual father to Théo (newcomer Samuel Kircher), his troubled teenage son from a previous marriage. Compelled by her stepson's Apollonian beauty, Anne embarks on an affair that threatens the stability of her household, along with her professional integrity, as she faces a choice between accountability and deception.
Original music by Kim Gordon and radiantly expressionist cinematography by Jeanne Lapoirie heighten the erotic and ethical tensions of Last Summer, Breillat's latest foray into the outer limits of desire.
