A Burning Hot Summer features another of Philippe Garrel's unforgettable dance sequences. (Who can forget "This Time Tomorrow" in Les amants réguliers?) Here the song is Dirty Pretty Things' "Truth Begins," the actors include Monica Bellucci and Louis Garrel and it is photographed in vibrant color by the great Willy Kurant (Masculin Féminin, Under the Sun of Satan, Pootie Tang).
