Movies like Last Summer

“Last Summer (2023) is a French 2020s coming-of-age drama that stages intergenerational estrangement within a provincial household. It places a city-raised teen in an estranged father’s countryside family and uses chiaroscuro lighting, naturalistic framing and a muted palette to register domestic friction. The film argues that familial belonging is negotiated through small, recurrent gestures and that identity emerges from the politics of everyday intimacy.”
