Solid 90s emocore from Assayas. Doesn’t succeed in achieving the depth of something like “Summer Hours”, but “Late August, Early September” is a reminder of that 90s ideal of personal filmmaking all across the globe at the time, and Assayas made a really good version of that kind of movie with this. Plus, the fact that Virginie Ledoyen starred in this and Edward Yang’s “Mahjong” within a year of each other is kind of nuts to think about.

Very nice to live inside. Life doesn’t have a plot structure so why should movies?
