Family traditions are challenged by new attitudes in this restrained, exquisite film from Olivier Assayas: a filmmaker whose cinema covers a diverse range of genres and milieus, collectively transforming modern anxieties into engrossing drama. With the late Edith Scob, and a blonde-haired Binoche!

Featuring interviews with Hirokazu Kore-eda, Hou Hsiao-hsien, Wang Bing, Kiyoshi Kurosawa, and Jia Zhangke, this documentary portrait provides a thorough perspective on the landmark New Taiwanese Cinema. An essential document of one of 20th century cinema’s most significant chapters.

Olivier Assayas confines his interest in memory to the clement spring of the 2020 pandemic in this deceptive film: profound, light though it first might seem. Wildflowers bloom as the director’s cast bring bourgeois neurotics and their girlfriends to life in his actual (!) Île-de-France family home.
