Summertime

Directed by Catherine Corsini

In 1971, farmers’ daughter Delphine (Izïa Higelin) moves to Paris to break free from the shackles of her family and to gain financial independence. Carole (Cécile de France, The Kid with a Bike) is a radical Parisian feminist, actively involved in the stirrings of the feminist movement. A Locarno prize-winning work, Summertime is a politicised love story that has already been compared to Blue is the Warmest Colour for its frank approach to sex. The film, powered by two terrific lead performances, offers an intellectual and frequently sensual look at the transformative power of love.
