Last Summer
Last summer was too beautiful to forget. And too painful to remember.
Directed by Frank Perry
Produced by Alsid Productions, Francis Productions
A coming-of-age tragedy set against an idyllic summer backdrop, exploring how youthful intimacy and peer pressure can curdle into cruelty and violence.
During summer vacation on Fire Island, three young people become very close. When an uncool girl tries to infiltrate the trio's newly found relationship, they construct an elaborate plot that has violent results.
