Isabelle Adjani and Alain Souchon in Verano asesino (1983)

The stunning Isabella Adjani plays Elle, a provocative and extremely feisty nineteen year old who returns to her home Provencal village with her crippled father and German mother. The normally sleepy village is jolted by her arrival, especially the menfolk who are mesmerised by her looks, and Elle is not shy of all the attention. Gradually her true personality and purpose emerges. A master manipulater, she manages to turn friend against friend and brother against brother, until the film reaches itÂ’s violent conclusion and ElleÂ’s dark secret is discovered, a life shattering event nineteen years earlier. Isabelle Adjani gives one of her best ever performances in Jean BeckerÂ’s gripping thriller packed with mesmerising twists and turns. One deadly summer will be released by Argent Films Ltd. on 27th of May 2013.

Curiosidades
Isabelle Adjani originally turned down the part of Elle which Jean Becker then offered to Valérie Kaprisky, who accepted. Later, after reading the book by Sébastien Japrisot (on which the film is based), Adjani changed her mind and took on the role.

8/10

Typically French and typically superb.

Newcomer to the village, Eilane, (Isabelle Adjani), is certainly a stunner and soon she's driving all the boys wild but it's mechanic and fireman 'Pin-Pon', (Alain Souchon), who woos her and wins her even though on their first date he sees a side to her that would have most men fleeing to the hills. Eilane may indeed be gorgeous but she's also clearly psychotic or worse. Jean Becker's "One Deadly Summer" is just yet another in a long line of superb French thrillers in which bad things take place in bright sunlight and people seem to have an ulterior motive for everything while Adjani joins a long list of very fatal femmes. She's terrific as usual but then so is everyone else in a movie that sets out its stall early on and then proceeds to give to the cold creeps for the next two hours. If you wished you could call it Chabrolian but I think this is a darker film than even Chabrol might have given us. Well worth seeking out.
