MA NOTE

Isabelle Adjani and Alain Souchon in L'été meurtrier (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.

Anecdotes
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.

Milo Manara's legacy in Adjanis character

It seems incredible, but I only got to see this picture 26 years after its release. A surprising plot that, at first, seems just like any other we would have already seen on screen. Allthou later it reveals itself to be full of surprises. Isabelle Adjani is at her peak of beauty and talent.

One thing was always on my mind while watching her figure and style. It seems as if the director Jean Becker had based her image on one of Milo Manara's characters. Adjani's body lines and her face were a form of inspiration for one of these two artists.

An absolute "must see".
