ONE DEADLY SUMMER (L'ETE MEURTRIER) 1983, Universal, 130 min. Beautiful, but emotionally unstable Isabelle Adjani is Eliane, the daughter of a single German mother (Maria Machado) who was raped by returning soldiers post-WWII. Adjani goes on a quest to find the men - specifically, the man responsible for impregnating her mother, who must logically be her father. Determined to find him and kill him, her plans are interrupted when the village's volunteer fireman Pin-Pon (played by pop star Alain Souchon) falls in love with her. In French with English subtitles.
