Synopsis:
Set during a languid season on Fire Island, Last Summer is a stark and unsettling coming-of-age drama that captures the disaffection and moral drift of the late 1960s with unflinching honesty. Directed by Frank Perry (Diary of a Mad Housewife) and adapted by Eleanor Perry from Evan Hunter's provocative novel, the film follows four teenagers - played by Barbara Hershey, Richard Thomas, Bruce Davison, and Catherine Burns (in an unforgettable Oscar® nominated performance) - whose summer of idle freedom and social detachment gradually gives way to tragedy.
Shot in a naturalistic style, Last Summer eschews easy judgments, instead presenting a chilling examination of youthful entitlement and emotional void. Perry's restrained direction and the cast's fearless performances lend the film a haunting authenticity that resonates long after the final frame. Last Summer is one of the most powerfully daunting and uncompromising American films of its time.
