"A MELODRAMA MASTERPIECE."
PREMIÈRE
AVAILABLE FOR THE 1ST TIME ON BLU-RAY
Jane Hudson, a single American woman in her forties, fulfills her dream by spending her vacation in Venice, hoping to realize all her romantic ideals there. From the moment she arrives, she is ecstatic about the beauty of the Italian language and the magical atmosphere of the City of Doges. Through chance encounters, Jane meets tourist couples. But her fascination slowly turns into sweet melancholy, and the weight of loneliness grows within her. One morning, Jane enters Renato de Rossi's antique shop, where he offers to introduce her to Venetian life...
Ten years after Brief Encounter, David Lean (Lawrence of Arabia) directed Summertime, a radiant and melancholic romance. Filmed at the height of summer in a dazzling Venice, the film is an impressionistic painting with flamboyant colors, imbued with the azure blue of the lagoon and the golden reflection of Venetian adornments. But behind the postcard emerges the suffering of a solitary woman, both captivated by the romantic charm of the city and frightened by its scent of voluptuous frivolity. Funny and sensitive, Katharine Hepburn (Bringing Up Baby) finds an unforgettable role here, making Summertime one of the most beautiful films ever made about the tumults of love. Available for the 1st time on Blu-ray™ in its superb 4K restoration!
