“‘Never have I felt like less of a filmmaker,’ frets Paul Berger (Vincent Macaigne). It’s April of 2020, and the film director has escaped to the provinces, living in lockdown with his brother Etienne (Micha Lescot), a middle-aged music journalist, and their respective romantic partners. The couples try to maintain their sanity in the midst of extended isolation in this tonally masterful dramedy from the great Olivier Assayas (Irma Vep, Personal Shopper). In an autobiographical vein, Assayas presents a disarmingly personal (and often very funny) perspective on the pandemic, taking place at the director’s very own family house. Amassing a wealth of insights into the foundational relationships and rural background that shaped him, Assayas is equally adept at thoughtfully reconstructing an unprecedented moment in our shared history with the grace and compassion that only a master filmmaker can bring. A Music Box Films release.” -Rendez-Vous with French Cinema
