Last Summer

A flawed, but ultimately touching coming of age film which brings across a manner of unease that could only come from a film riding on the tail end of the 60's. I found the relationship between the girl and her two boys disturbing but hauntingly beautiful, with perhaps a slight homoerotic subtext running throughout.

The most accurate representation of people from Long Island I’ve ever seen

Memorable turn by Catherine Burns. Not available on DVD. I wonder if this inspired the Gentle Giant album cover with “Three Friends” sitting around a seagull.

The only good part about this one was the scene where they wash each other's hair. Otherwise overblown and completely canned, a real relic of the 60s...from the guy who foisted on us David & Lisa, The Swimmer and Mommie Dearest. Poor Evan Hunter got stuck writing this thing.

I love it more every time. It's delicate and compassionate but churning with rage and desire. A perfect look at teenage life.

An interesting film about how sexual tension--particularly when that tension is held in uneasy balance and then disrupted--can lead to violence. The film is full of pity and compassion for these young people, but looks at them clearly.
