Catherine Breillat, renowned for her provocative films, makes a notable return with her latest work, 'Last Summer'. The film, which premiered at Cannes 2023, is set to be released in New York City this Friday by Janus Films and Sideshow Film. 'Last Summer' tells the story of a fifty-year-old French lawyer who has an affair with her teenage stepson, marking a radically light return to form for Breillat. The film has received positive reviews, with critics praising Breillat's ability to handle the sensitive subject matter with a surprisingly chaste approach. In addition to the release, Breillat will be participating in Q&A sessions and a screening of her earlier film 'Fat Girl'. There will also be a 35mm screening of 'Fat Girl' on Wednesday, as highlighted in Filmmaker Magazine.
