I don't feel like Assayas' films are all that different, Lemmy (this is not a criticism). They all deal with the same underlying issues in albeit strikingly different packages.
"Clean" is, I think one of his best films and I have almost watched them all (except "Irma Vep"). Each one is really different from the other.
I've seen this guy's films floating around my friend's desks just lying there in their little netflix sleeves. Yet no matter how much I see his films around I never hear a single person say a thing about them. Can anyone recommend a thing by him?
