Last Summer (1969)
4/10
Last and Least of a Summer to Forget **
1 July 2012
Warning: Spoilers
Three obnoxious teenagers on Fire Island during a particular summer form a bond that leads to an unbelievable ending.

Nothing like a story about 3 teens, all of whom apparently come from wealthy families who pal around during the summer and meet Rhoda, a depressed teen, far from beautiful, who is basically in a world of her own.

Catherine Burns, as Rhoda, tells in detail the tragic drowning of her mother, 5 summers ago and this telling brought her a best supporting actress Oscar bid.

The unbelievable, tragic ending and the callous disregard of a human being is haunting. Otherwise, we're subjected to summer-time carefree leisure which to be perfectly honest is quite boring after a while.
