Zwischen den Zeilen (2018)
31KZwischen den Zeilen: Directed by Olivier Assayas. With Guillaume Canet, Juliette Binoche, Vincent Macaigne, Christa Théret. Set in the Parisian publishing world, an editor and an author find themselves in over their heads, as they cope with a middle-age crisis, the changing industry and their wives.
“As others said it here, this is a very French film. Itu0026#39;s also very verbal and very witty, though most of the text is there only as a vehicle for the story itself about the relationships between four friends two of them being a part of the French literary circle, and their wives. The only reason this thing works at all, is the fact that all of the cast oozes charm. One keeps on watching them talking and talking, because theyu0026#39;re so very charming doing it, their wit flows naturally. But the truth is that we didnu0026#39;t really get to see here great original story. All weu0026#39;ve got here is an endless verbal deluge, delivered with a certain French smile of self awareness, and as I already said, with loads of charm. If thatu0026#39;s enough for you, youu0026#39;ll love this film. I found it a bit longish, I thought the director didnu0026#39;t really know how to end it, so he tried a few endings and left them all in, a mistake not suitable for an experienced director. But thatu0026#39;s about it.”
