First of all I have to admit that Olivier Assayas is one of my three favourite directors. All his films are like novels that are different to every other film. And once more this movie shows what a great director he really is. Juliette Binoche in her best role. Kristen becoming one of the most important actresses of the world... Definitely a must-see for art-house fans. A film about directing, theater, film business and art.
Two things are a little bit, well, not so nice. The first thing: they have chosen the worst German art-house actors: Lars Eidinger is really fantastic in Hamlet and theatre, but not a great actor for movies. Olivier should have known that (but who else should he have taken.......... :-( German actors aren't able to prepare for filming by their own. That is because there isn't a real German cinema existing....
The other thing: Oliver is becoming old. And that - for me - means accepting old classic rules like: the creative people are men. And girls are always willing and happy to do what great men want them to do. Well... Is that true? I am not so sure about that. Maybe.... ??? But: all the directors in this film (3!) are men, all the writers (2) are men, all the real creative people... Well... mh... Nevertheless a great movie.
score 9/10
