Catherine Breillat's 'Last Summer' is an intimately uncomfortable movie about power. Anne, a lawyer who protects vulnerable children, transforms into something darker when her teenage stepson moves in—using every skill she's honed for protection to manipulate instead. In an era where those who swear to protect us often burn everything down, Breillat's film exposes the mechanics of abuse with surgical precision. This isn't just about one woman's transgression; it's about how easily those entrusted with care become the worst kind of threat.
