Non-Fiction

Juliette Binoche and Guillaume Canet reunite with acclaimed director Olivier Assayas (Clouds of Sils Maria) for this wry, slyly seductive tale of sex, lies, and literature. Set amidst the bohemian intelligentsia of the Parisian publishing world, NON-FICTION traces the romantic and emotional fallout that results when a controversial writer (Vincent Macaigne) begins blurring the line between fact and fiction, using his real-life love affairs—including a passionate fling with an actress (Binoche) who happens to be married to his editor (Canet)—as fodder for his explosive new novel. Balancing dry wit with keen observations on the tensions between art, commerce, and technology, NON-FICTION is a buoyant, breezy delight from a master director at his most effortlessly brilliant.

Critic Reviews:

• " The performances are impeccable, but it's the brilliance of Olivier Assayas's writing and control of the increasingly witty tone that makes this a cine-literary gem. " – David Parkinson

• " A breezily entertaining comedy of manners when it isn't getting bogged down by its characters' self-conscious meditations on life and culture in the digital age. " – Adam Lubitow

• " Smart, funny, and immensely entertaining. Binoche leads an exceptional cast in the dialogue-heavy film that perfectly balances drama with comedy. " – Joe Friar
