I've finally seen an Olivier Assayas film I don't really care for. This is a lot of people sitting around talking about things that aren't particularly interesting.
Assayas started writing the script when he was sick during the time of covid, but not with covid. He put together some random scenes on paper and eventually turned it into the tale of a filmmaker who travels to the country with his girlfriend and hs brother. He is desperate to finish a project. Lots of talk results.
Yes, the cast is fine, and yes, some of the dialog is okay, but it doesn't add up to anything. I really don't know why Assayas was asking us to take this ride. I say that as large fan of the director. I've always liked his films and he is important to me because his film CARLOS was the first film I ever covered as credentialed press. I will see anything he creates. I will revisit all the films...or I would have until this film. This film will not get a rewatch.
