"Last Summer is one of the most exciting restorations of the year, with a rare screening at the Paris Theater. Warner Archive will finally release it on home video later this year."
"The Perrys' films were acclaimed in their time but eventually fell through the cracks, perhaps because their work didn't quite fit into the edgy, experimental drive of the era's other signature American pictures."
"Frank had an old-school approach to performance and atmosphere, while Eleanor had an acute understanding of extreme human behavior in kids and adults, resulting in films that color between the lines."
Last Summer, a 1969 teen drama by Frank Perry, will be screened at the Paris Theater on May 3rd. Warner Archive is releasing it on home video later this year. The film has circulated in rough versions but has never had a proper release. Frank and Eleanor Perry created a series of acclaimed films that fell through the cracks due to their unique style. Their works are characterized by a delicate approach to performance and an understanding of human behavior.
