Non-Fiction
Sunday 8th December at 2pm
A 2018 French comedy directed by Olivier Assayas starring Guillaume Canet, Juliette Binoche and Vincent Macaigne.
An affair between actress Selena (Juliette Binoche) and writer Léonard (Vincent Macaigne) is nearly discovered among their close friends in Léonard’s thinly veiled autobiographical novel. Fortunately for them, Alain (Guillaume Canet), both Selena’s husband and Léonard’s publisher, rejects the book and remains seemingly oblivious to the whole ordeal, maybe because he’s having his own affair as well! But eventually, the group must confront their double lives in a comedy of art, affairs and midlife crises.
From director Olivier Assayas (Personal Shopper, Clouds of Sils Maria) the film paints a hilarious and sprightly portrait of high class people with low class values.
'Sharp and textured performances ' - The Guardian
‘The filmmaker's interest in the forces of globalization — a thematic through-line in a body of work that runs the spectrum from freaky genre exercises to classy period pieces — indeed proves very much present in this witty, resonant, richly perceptive portrait of people caught in the throes of a fast-changing country' - The Hollywood Reporter

'This mystery thriller is outrageous and irresistible, an old-fashioned drama with dashes of Patricia Highsmith, Patrick Hamilton, John le Carré and maybe Elizabeth Jane Howard’s memoir Slipstream' The Guardian ★★★★
