   Does Catherine Breillat defend Anne in 'last summer'?

   • There’s no defending what Anne, a successful lawyer and mother, does when she begins an affair with her 17-year-old stepson, Théo, in the incandescent French drama “Last Summer.” And the director, Catherine Breillat, does not try to defend her, nor condemn her.

   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.

   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.

   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.
