   Who is Anne in 'last summer' by Catherine Breillat?

   • When Anne, the elegant, enigmatic protagonist in Catherine Breillat’s “Last Summer,” walks in a room, she holds your gaze as formidably as she holds those of everyone in this startling, perverse French movie. A lawyer, wife, mother and sister, Anne likes sheath dresses and high heels, tasteful antiques and a sense of order.

   Is last summer a romantic drama?

   • One would be hard-pressed, however, to call Last Summer a romantic drama, so weirdly predatory is the sensual ardour of the mature woman at its centre, whose slippery sexual attraction, with the contradictory impulses of fusion and repulsion, soul-baring and self-delusion, make Last Summer Breillat’s most heartbreaking film to date.

   Is Breillat a good movie?

   • It’s a messy, jolting movie; there aren’t many filmmakers who shock you like Breillat does and with such supremely natural ease. Anne, played by a superb Léa Drucker, seems wholly satisfied in her world. She and her loving, attentive husband, Pierre (Olivier Rabourdin), have two sweet girls, and live in a large, handsome suburban home.

   Is 'last summer' a good movie?

   • “Last Summer” is complex, tricky, at times very uncomfortable and thoroughly engrossing. Part of what makes the movie enthralling, at least in its first squirmy half, is the spectacle of watching a character rush into a morally abject, altogether questionable and seemingly obvious disaster; it’s like watching a slow-moving car crash.

   Does Breillat make every image count in 'last summer'?

   • Breillat isn’t a flashy visual stylist, but she makes every image count in “Last Summer.” There’s meaning in each smile and bit of skin, as when Breillat folds in shots of Théo and Pierre with bared torsos, the beauty of youth answered by the poignancy of age.
