Full Plot Details

Frédéric and Angèle are a married couple, he a painter, she an actress of some renown who gave up her career to be with him. She is a woman who most men desire. Struggling actors Paul and Élisabeth, neither who has any money, start to date after they meet as extras on a movie set. Shortly before Paul and Élisabeth met, Frédéric and Paul became friends after being introduced by a mutual acquaintance. By association, all four become friends, especially strengthened when Paul and Élisabeth decide to move into Frédéric and Angèle's spacious apartment in Rome. Following an attempted suicide by Frédéric, Paul reflects on the friendship between the four. Because of physical proximity, they couldn't help but become closer emotionally. So whenever something happened within one of their lives, either directly concerning one or more of the others or not, it couldn't help but affect the other three, the battle lines more often drawn not by couple but by gender.

Movie Reviews

New York Times - 8/10 by Manohla DargisIn A Burning Hot Summer (a pulpy title that sounds better in the original, "Un Été Brûlant), two men fall into friendship, and while little happens, everything is at stake.
Film Comment Magazine - 5/10 by Kent JonesI have never seen a Garrel film untouched by grace, and A Burning Hot Summer is no exception.
Chicago Reader - 5/10 by Drew HuntGarrel's work is indebted to silent cinema style, but his recent films have shown a real flair for dialogue too.
Village Voice - 5/10 by Nick SchagerAlthough Angèle's religious faith and Frédéric's belief in luck seem like strained attempts at adding heft to the material, the film nevertheless works up a potent dramatic restlessness, derived from the push-pull between an entitled, obsessive Frédéric and Bellucci's quietly chaotic Angèle.
New York Post - 4/10 by Farran Smith NehmeIt's apt that the Rome weather in this stodgy film, contrary to the title, seems quite temperate.
User Review - 2/10 by Josep PNem o Garrel salva os filmes do pai. E o pior à (C) que eu já sabia.
