Un été comme ça

That Kind of Summer
Denis Côté
Canada 2022
137 min
V'22

The protagonists of Denis Côté’s films often live on the margins, having been cast aside because of psychological wounds that refuse to heal. In his latest film, Côté considers the therapeutic situation itself. UN ÉTÉ COMME ÇA takes place during a 26-day retreat for women who have been diagnosed as having sexual dysfunctions.Under the care of a young psychology researcher from Düsseldorf and a clinical assistant, the three women attempt to grapple with their respective demons.
Eugénie is an artist plagued by intrusive sexual thoughts; Geisha is a sexual compulsive; and Léonie is addicted to violent, multipartner encounters. But the film does not take for granted that the retreat can heal these women, nor even that their predilections are “perversions” to be fixed. While so-called normal life may as yet elude them, they are also highly adept at mirroring ugly desires back to the male world that has largely defined them. A provocative interrogation of trauma, pathology and consent, UN ÉTÉ COMME ÇA is a film that will divide audiences and provoke passionate debate. (Michael Sicinski)
