ONE DEADLY SUMMER

Description

ONE DEADLY SUMMER BLU-RAY

Isabelle Adjani, who is celebrated for her multi-Awarded acting and her beauty, plays ‘Elle’, a provocative 19-year-old whose arrival, with her mother and sick father, in a sleepy Provence village sets the locals afire with lust and gossip. She soon finds a suitor in gentle Pin-Pon (Alain Souchon), the local mechanic, and they marry shortly after. Then the tone shifts, when a dark secret emerges from her past, the film becomes more complex and Adjani’s character reveals a disturbing side as she manipulates events and men in order to seek revenge for an outrage inflicted in her childhood…

With more César Awards than any other French actor and a host of Oscar® Nominations, Isabelle Adjani (Possession, Queen Margot, Camille Claudel, Adele H) is one of the most celebrated French star of all time.
Her acting talent and staggering sensual beauty both reaching a career-defining high in Becker’s ONE DEADLY SUMMER (L’ETE MEURTRIER), which became the highest grossing French film of the time – and the prototype mould engendering the erotic thrillers which Hollywood made in its wake.
