One Deadly Summer

£14.99

Released: 18th August 2025. 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. Features soundtrack by Oscar Winner George Delerue (Platoon, Steel Magnolias, A Little Romance, Twins, The Day of the Dolphin, Beaches, Joe Versus the Volcano).
