In this psychological thriller, a solitary woman's world is turned upside down when a vacationing Norwegian couple welcome themselves into her home in the French countryside, slowly invading her peace. Who are the foreigners? Why do they seem to not want to leave any time soon? With hypnotic camera movements, a seductive score, compelling characters, and a series of twists and turns, LATE SUMMER explores the lead actress's psyche, resurfacing her sexual desires, fears, and traumas. The film evokes memory's hallucinatory terrain and the human inability to recover from past wounds, which, despite the passage of time, refuse to heal. (Hamptons International Film Festival)

The film has a great atmosphere, where at first you have no idea what it's going to be about, but after a while, you get the feeling that it's going to be a Norwegian-French Funny Games. There are some really weird things going on and you're waiting for the finale to be spectacular, but then the credits roll and somehow you don't know what to make of this film.
