Premiering in competition at Berlin, Denis Côté’s “That Kind of Summer” began life as a kind of thought experiment meant to address a rather large oversight in modern Quebecois cinema.
“The film could never be meant to judge,” Côté explained. “I didn’t want to present certainties and make false promises. Cinema is about making your way in the dark, so by the end you’re supposed to realize there are no real answers to these problems — if they’re even problems at all.” “By pornography, I don’t just mean the commodification of the body,” Corriveau continued. “I mean our whole society, which expects us to perform our own intimacy. This film does the opposite. We think the characters are baring their souls, but in the end we realize that we’ll never crack that mystery.”
And in terms of the film’s more graphic sequences, Côté credited the near ubiquity of digital flesh with easing the shoot.
