Janus Films and Sideshow are expected to release their acclaimed erotic drama LAST SUMMER on VOD and digital platforms imminently, arriving tomorrow, September 10th, 2024. The film world premiered at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival before launching in US theaters on June 28th, 2024.

Please note: Janus Films/Sideshow has neither announced nor confirmed the release date. As always, release date are subject to change.

Last Summer was directed by Catherine Breillat, from a screenplay written by Breillat in collaboration with Pascal Bonitzer. It is a remake of the 2019 Danish film Queen of Hearts, and stars Léa Drucker and Samuel Kircher.

With her first film in a decade, the fearless 75-year-old French auteur Catherine Breillat (Fat Girl, The Last Mistress) proves she’s as provocative as ever with her Cannes-stirring film, which drives down the dark road of uncontrollable passion.

A remarkably nuanced, radiant Léa Drucker plays Anne, an attorney who has plateaued in her marriage to Pierre (Olivier Rabourdin), a distracted businessman. His son, troubled seventeen-year-old, Theo (Samuel Kircher), from a previous marriage, has recently returned to Pierre’s ineffectual and despondent care. When Pierre leaves town for a business trip, Anne and Théo — confined under the same roof for the first time — find themselves in the throes of an unexpected and dangerously lustful affair, threatening the stability of the household.

Music by Kim Gordon heightens the erotic tension of Last Summer, a film that boldly surveys power dynamics, female desire, and fulfillment.
