Director's bio
Olivier Assayas
Olivier Assayas, born on January 25, 1955, in Paris, France, is a distinguished French film director, screenwriter, and film critic. He is known for his eclectic filmography, which includes slow-burning period pieces, psychological thrillers, neo-noirs, and comedies. Assayas made his feature debut with "Disorder" in 1986. His breakthrough came with "Cold Water" (1994), which screened at the Cannes Film Festival. He gained further acclaim with films like "Irma Vep" (1996), "Summer Hours" (2008), "Clouds of Sils Maria" (2014), and "Personal Shopper" (2016), the latter winning him the Best Director award at Cannes.
Synopsis
April 2020––Lockdown. Etienne, a film director, and his brother Paul, a music journalist, are confined together in their childhood home with their new partners Morgane and Carole. Every room, every object, reminds them of their childhood, and the memories of the absents––their parents, their neighbors… This compels them to measure the distance that separates them from each other and the roots they share, those of their ground zero. As the world around them is becoming increasingly unsettling, unreality, and even a disturbing strangeness, invades their daily gestures and actions.
