What critics compared Summertime to
Corsini, whose outstanding filmography includes the remarkable Three Worlds and the Kristin Scott Thomas/Sergi Lopez drama Leaving, again shows she’s a director who can go both wide and deeply focused, not just in camera angles but in themes and storytelling.
Director Catherine Corsini ( Leaving ) draws out two lively and empathetic performances from Izïa Higelin and Cécile De France as the country girl and the city girl.
Summertime (4/24, 3 p.m.), directed by Catherine Corsini (who also directed the 2009 film Leaving), tells the story of two lovers in 1970s France who struggle to overcome their different backgrounds and an unaccepting society.
