Set amidst the intelligentsia of the publishing world, Non-Fiction by Olivier Assayas (Clouds of Sils Maria and Personal Shopper) traces the romantic and emotional fallout that results when a controversial writer uses his real-life love affairs — including a passionate fling with an actress who happens to be married to his editor — 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 breezy delight from a master director at his most effortlessly brilliant.Starring Juliette Binoche and Guillaume Canet.
