Été 85
A story of friendship and love, or perhaps the opposite, between two boys in the mid-eighties at a seaside resort in Normandy.
Please note that this film is in French and English, with Dutch subtitles.
When 16-year-old Alexis capsizes off the coast of Normandy, 18-year-old David heroically saves him. Alexis has just met the friend of his dreams. But will the dream last for more than one summer?
In this passionate drama with a nostalgic breeze, prolific director François Ozon (SWIMMING POOL, FRANTZ) plays around with genres. ÉTÉ 85 tells a dark, brooding tale of passion, accompanied by a great 1980’s soundtrack featuring Bananarama, Rod Stewart and The Cure.
François Ozon, France, Belgium, 2020, 100 min. French spoken, Dutch subtitles.
