A writer and a publisher struggle to cope with a changing industry in this French comedy from Cannes Best Director winner Olivier Assayas.
"Alain (Guillaume Canet, Love Me If You Dare), a successful Parisian publisher struggling to adapt to the digital revolution, has major doubts about the new manuscript of Léonard (Vincent Macaigne, The Innocents), one of his long-time authors – another work of auto-fiction recycling his love affair with a minor celebrity. Selena (Juliette Binoche), Alain’s wife, a famous stage actress, is of the opposite opinion." (Venice Film Festival)
