I really liked this. Unmistakably a Breillat film, but with a pleasant splash of Rohmer in the idyllic setting, small cast, and nuanced sexual dynamics. I watched the live Criterion Channel stream last week.

If anybody else has seen it and wants to spoiler tag the last couple of minutes below, I'd appreciate it. I happened to look down at a message I got and missed them.

Such a shame that the far superior original film that Last Summer is based on Queen of Hearts (2019) remains missing in action in an English friendly Blu Ray edition.
