Directed by Olivier Assayas | 105 mins | 2024
Interpersonal tensions, neuroses, and nostalgia flare in the countryside cottage where two out-of-touch brothers and their respective girlfriends have congregated to wait out the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic. With Olivier Assayas himself providing narration and the drama—low-key but wry and deep-rooted—unfolding in his own family home in the Chevreuse Valley, this Berlinale competition selection finds its maker operating in a notably personal and contagiously ruminative mode. A film, funny and moving in turn, about the blistering friction of cabin fever and the ghosts that linger around the scenes of childhood memories.
