American Cinematheque welcomes Academy Award-nominated actress Barbara Hershey (The Portrait of a Lady, Black Swan) for a screening and discussion of this rarely-seen 1969 coming-of-age story. Directed by Frank Perry, Last Summer is a clear-eyed yet emotionally potent look at the sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll summer experienced by three Fire Island teens, played by Hershey, Richard Thomas and Bruce Davison. But when an uptight newcomer (Oscar nominee Catherine Burns) joins the scene, the tight-knit trio's relationship is tested, leading to a callously cruel act. Larry Karaszewski moderates a post-screening discussion with Hershey, who famously changed her name to "Seagull" in response to a scene in the film.

Description

Last Summer, 1969, Warner Bros., 95 min. Dir. Frank Perry.
Bruce Davison, Barbara Hershey and Catherine Burns star in this aggressively unsentimental coming of age story. Director Frank Perry charts the behavior (and misbehavior) of a group of teens on Fire Island whose tastes for sex, drugs, and rock and roll devolve into more sinister interests as the summer progresses. Ultimately the characters' loss of innocence mirrors that of America in the decade during which the film was made and takes place. [16mm]

Discussion following with Barbara Hershey, moderated by Larry Karaszewski.
