Synopsis

Widely hailed by critics as 2009’s best film, Summer Hours is the great contemporary French filmmaker Olivier Assayas’s most personal film to date. Three siblings, played by Juliette Binoche, Charles Berling, and Jérémie Renier, must decide what to do with the country estate and objects they’ve inherited from their mother. From this simple story, Assayas creates a nuanced, exquisitely made drama about the material of globalized modern living. Naturalistic and unsentimental yet suffused with genuine warmth, this is that rare film that pays respect to family by treating it with honesty.

3 Reasons To buy this film

Summer Hours speaks volumes about the nature detached families in a surprisingly subtle, evocative manner and has garnered universal acclaim from both critics and audiences around the entire globe.
Juliette Binoche, Charles Berling and Jérémie Renier add layers of nuance to their roles as adults trying to deal, rationally, with the loss of their mother and the materials that hold them together as a family.
Next to Clean, this is easily one of director Olivier Assayas's most heartfelt and lovingly crafted films yet.
