OPENS MAY 15th
One of the most celebrated films in World Cinema
today, and a standout hit of the Toronto, AFI and New
York Film Festivals, SUMMER HOURS (L'HEURE D'ÉTÉ)
is Olivier Assayas' (IRMA VEP, LES DESTINÉES) latest
film superbly acted by some of France's finest performers
Academy Award®-winner Juliette Binoche, Charles
Berling and Jérémie Rénier.
The divergent paths of three forty-something siblings
collide when their mother, heiress to her uncles exceptional
19th-century art collection, dies suddenly. Left to
come to terms with themselves and their differences,
Adrienne (Binoche), a successful New York designer,
Frédéric (Berling), an economist and university professor
in Paris, and Jérémie (Rénier), a dynamic businessman
in China, confront the end of childhood, their
shared memories, background and unique vision of the
future. Incisively written, Assayas' new film moves
effortlessly through its narrative with all the grace of
Renoir at the height of his powers.
