The writer and director Catherine Breillat made her return to the cinema after ten years of absence. The filmmaker wanted to be once again subversive by choosing for this return to direct a remake of "Dronningen" in which she entrusts the main role to Léa Drucker.
"Last Summer" also marks the birth of the young actor Samuel Kircher, son of Irène Jacob and Jérôme Kirchers. The question of relations at the borders of control, illegality and immorality was raised repeatedly in the films of this 76th edition of the Cannes Film Festival.
