NOTES
Directed by Bruno Dumont
Léa Seydoux, Blanche Gardin, Benjamin Biolay, Emanuele Arioli
Léa Seydoux brilliantly holds the center of Bruno Dumont's unexpected new film, which starts out as a satire of contemporary news media before steadily spiraling out into something richer and darker. Set in contemporary Paris, France stars Seydoux as France de Meurs, a seemingly unflappable superstar TV journalist juggling her studio show, reporting on a distant war, and the rush of family life. Her high-profile world is turned upside down after she injures a delivery man in a traffic accident, triggering a series of self-reckonings and a strange romance that proves impossible to shake. Never one to shy away from provoking his viewers, Dumont's latest is tragicomic and deliciously ambivalent - a very 21st-century treatment of the difficulty of maintaining identity in a corrosive culture
