Olivier Assayas’ beguiling take on the ‘ghost story’, made with a blend of sensuality and tension, and backed by a stirring turn by Kristen Stewart.

Clouds of Sils Maria (2014)
In some way a loose thematic companion piece to Cronenberg’s “Maps to the Stars”, but with greater dramatic introspection, though not necessarily tight enough to soar.
Non-Fiction (2018)
Assayas’ new film is talky in the very best sense, capturing themes of digitalisation and socialisation with effortless ease.
Something in the Air (2012)
Assayas’ latest captures the dreams and hopes of revolutionary European youths post-May 1968 through an eye-opening prism-memory of politics and art.
Clean (2004)
Backed by a terrific performance by Cannes Best Actress winner Maggie Cheung, Assayas explores the theme of redemption through the inner workings of head and heart.
