David\u2019s worldly demeanor and Jewish heritage deliver an ardent jolt to Alexis\u2019s traditional, working-class upbringing. After Alexis begins working at the seaside shop owned by David\u2019s mother (Valeria Bruni Tedeschi), the two lovers steal every possible moment for a fugitive kiss, a motorcycle ride, or a trip to the cinema. Their relationship is soon rocked by a host of challenges, including an unexpected sexual rival (Philippine Velge) and a romantic oath that transcends life itself.\u00a0Adapted by Fran\u00e7ois Ozon from Aidan Chambers\u2019s groundbreaking LGBT young adult novel Dance on My Grave, Summer of 85 is a sexy, nostalgic reverie of first love and its consequences from one of France\u2019s most versatile filmmakers. Their summer fling lasts just six weeks, but casts a shadow over a lifetime.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.musicboxfilms.com\/film\/summer-of-85\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WATCH NOW<\/a><br \/>\n<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SUMMER OF 85 | 2021 &#8211; 101&#8242; &#8211; Drama, Romance, Coming of Age.
