Summer Night in Town

DramaRomance85 min

On a sweltering summer night, two young strangers who can’t sleep end up staying indoors together, talking as the heat keeps the city awake outside. Jean-Hugues Anglade and Marie Trintignant are the pair at the center of this French drama, moving from flirtation to confession as the night wears on and reserve gives way to candor. What begins as a chance encounter turns into an all-night exchange about desire, loneliness, and the private histories they would normally keep to themselves.
