One Deadly Summer - 1983 - 7/10
AKA - L’été Meurtrier

His younger brother tries to warn him. The girl is not right.
The older brother, dazzled, plunges ahead.
New family, with attractive daughter, moves into small village.
Eliane is drop dead gorgeous, and the rural Lothario’s quickly brag of bagging her.
Her interest goes to mechanic Fio, though her “hunter’s eye” is trained elsewhere.
Eliane has an agenda, of which locals are unaware, and viewers must guess.
Something to do with her family history, and a player piano.
She is also, as mentioned earlier, unstable.
Story is told by several narrators, from numerous points of view.
The director inserted random nude scenes and one odd mother/daughter moment that seem gratuitous.
Both leads are too old for their roles (Fio especially).
Problematic film still a must for sordid mystery buffs.
