Summer Hours

About the movie

The divergent paths of three forty something siblings collide when their mother, heiress to her uncle's exceptional 19th century art collection, dies suddenly. Left to come to terms with themselves and their differences, Adrienne (Juliette Binoche) a successful New York designer, Frédéric (Charles Berling) an economist and university professor in Paris, and Jérémie (Jérémie Renier) a dynamic businessman in China, confront the end of childhood, their shared memories, background and unique vision of the future.
This latest drama from Olivier Assayas (Irma Vep, Demonlover, Boarding Gate) observes the troubled fate of a priceless private art collection, as family members disagree as to its best use. Preserve or sell? Display, or protect? With a stunning cast including Juliette Binoche, Jérémie Rénier, Charles Berling and Edith Scob, this is an intelligent and tender assessment of the power of memory and the value of objects.
