Laetitia Masson's new film SUMMER FROST (with Clémence Poésy) will soon be shown on SOONER and promises an extraordinary film experience. The film shows in a poetic and visually stunning way how ten strangers meet during an unusual cold spell in summer in France. These encounters, imbued with intense emotions and self-reflection, paint a haunting portrait of the human soul. In an episodic structure, Masson interweaves themes such as loneliness, love and the search for connection against a surreal backdrop.

In SOONERCAST, Masson talks to Sebastian Urzendowsky about her work. The interview was held in French, the subtitled version can be seen on YouTube. She sees her films less as political statements than as in-depth explorations of the human condition. Although she does not see herself as a feminist filmmaker, her characters are often lonely figures in search of love, which they confuse with attachment. A central motif in her films is the triad of love, work and money. SUMMER FROST (with Clémence Poésy) impressively embodies these profound themes.

On 09.09. SUMMER FROST will be screened at Cinema Paris in the presence of Laetitia Masson. This special screening offers a rare opportunity to experience the film on the big screen and meet the director in person. Listen to the full interview on SOONERCAST to find out more about the background to this fascinating work and Masson's world of thought. Stay tuned for the launch of SUMMER FROST on SOONER soon.
