The movie My Summer of Love from the Polish filmmaker Pawel Pawlikowski deals with the intense meeting of two completely different young women during a summer somewhere on the English countryside. While the simple Mona comes from the working-class, but somehow wants to escape the emptiness of her daily life, Tamsin is a spoiled, well-educated and cynical girl, who tries to pull Mona in her ban. A kind of love relationship between the two starts developing with a dangerous end.

Definitely, a must-see movie with a lot of passion and tension. The two amateur actors convey the story, which is based on a book, superb under Pawlikowski’s direction, who has received for this movie for the second time after Last Resort the award for the Best British Film at the Edinburgh Film Festival. Somehow interesting to see that a Pole can excellence in British movies, which belong to my favorites mostly because of all the memories evoking in me – here you can read an insightful interview with Pawlokowski how he explains it.
