Summer Hours

The divergent paths of three fortysomething 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, an economist and university professor in Paris; and Jérémie, a dynamic businessman in China, confront the end of childhood, and their shared memories, background, and unique vision of the future. Incisively written, Olivier Assayas’s film moves effortlessly through its narrative with all the grace of Renoir at the height of his powers.
