“This is one of my favorite films ever made. It’s Summer Hours by Olivier Assayas, and it’s such a simple story. It’s about this family whose– the matriarch passes away, the Mother of these three kids, two of whom live, I think, out of France and one who lives in France, and they have to figure out what to do with her House and all their… I think, her uncle’s things. He was an artist. And it’s just a beautiful story about family and about legacy, and it’s beautifully shot.”
