Ep. 306: Olivier Assayas on his film Suspended Time, personal filmmaking, and recent favorites Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. This weekend, Rendez-Vous with French Cinema presents the latest Olivier Assayas film, Suspended Time—a thoughtful and funny chronicle set in the French countryside during pandemic lockdown. Set in Assayas's parents' house, it's about much more, circling his relationship with his rock critic brother—whom he isolated with, along with their partners—and the feelings of reckoning with mortality and the past that are stirred up. I spoke with Assayas when Suspended Time originally premiered in Berlin about fictionalizing his experience, the introspection of the pandemic, the directors that influenced him, his recent viewing, and where his Irma Vep series fit into all of this. Vincent Macaigne (also in the Irma Vep series) and Micha Lescot co-star as the brothers Assayas. Suspended Time screens March 14 and 16 at Film at Lincoln Center as part of Rendez-Vous with French Cinema 2025.

En el décimo episodio de Manderley —en el que contamos con la participación de Juan Carlos Lemus y Andrea Morán— hablamos de IRMA VEP de Olivier Assayas, tanto del largometraje de 1996 como de la miniserie de 8 episodios basada en ella que el propio director adaptó para televisión en 2022. Abordamos primero la relación de Assayas con el serial cinematográfico LES VAMPIRES (1915-1916) y Louis Feuillade, y contextualizamos a la actriz y cineasta pionera Musidora. En el primer bloque, dedicado a la película, detallamos los orígenes del proyecto a partir de la inspiración que le provocó al director la estrella del cine chino Maggie Cheung y las resonancias metacinematográficas de un reparto que incluye a Jean-Pierre Léaud, Bulle Ogier y Lou Castel. Luego analizamos cómo presenta el desafío de la reinterpretación posmoderna de un filme clásico y la representación del lesbianismo en el cine a través de personajes clave de ambas versiones. En la parte final del programa nos centramos la versión serializada más reciente y los vínculos intertextuales y biográficos de los personajes y de su reparto, con Alicia Vikander y Vincent Macaigne. Comentamos elementos discursivos alrededor de la mercantilización de la imagen del actor y las relaciones entre el cine de autor y la industria. Finalmente, acabamos con los elementos esotéricos y ocultistas que aporta la invocación del nombre del director experimental underground Kenneth Anger dentro de la serie y la dimensión fantasmagórica del cine tan presente en las imágenes de las dos Irma Vep.

Writer, critic, and Hit Factory Discord all-star Jason Miller returns to the show to discuss Hong Kong director Stanley Kwan's 'Center Stage', an experimental biopic exploring the life and work of Chinese silent film star Ruan Lingyu who achieved an unprecedented celebrity before tragically taking her own life at only 24. Ruan is played magnificently by Maggie Cheung in one of her first "serious" (and arguably one of her very best) performances. The film brilliantly forgoes a traditional biopic structure, intercutting the filmic recreations with real footage of Ruan's handful of enduring film performances. From there, the film offers an additional layer of complexity by frequently inserting black & white interstitials of director Stanley Kwan and Maggie Cheung (as herself) discussing the life of Ruan Lingyu and the production of the film. As the film goes on, these distinct layers begin to fracture and smear, both emphasizing the unreality of the recreations and eliciting a deeper sense of truth to the real Ruan Lingyu that the film understands it can never fully capture. We discuss the way Kwan navigates his experimental form through the lens of classic melodrama (taking influence from the likes of Douglas Sirk) in order to create something that invites even as it antoginizes and provokes. Then, we consider the real Ruan Lingyu and some of her most well-known works (including 'The Goddess' directed by Wu Yonggang) and how the open construction of 'Center Stage' invites us to pursue further understanding rather than attempt to act as the final word on Ruan. Finally, we look at the state of the modern biopic and the furstrating lack on ingenuity and experiementation when approaching the titanic lives that these films consider.

Two reasons this podcast exist: Film Junk and Patrick Ripoll. So I'm always grateful when Patrick returns since he's the OG co-host of this show. He's always doing killer work with Reg on 96 Greers that I highly recommend. But I vividly recall two moments of the past decade: his love of Clouds of Sils Maria and my love for Personal Shopper.  Made a mental note to put French filmmaker Olivier Assayas on the list of potential directors and the time has come to cover him. He will have a movie out later this year but there are plenty of past titles and new discoveries for both of us to discuss even if ultimately, he didn't become an all-time favorite for either of us. We cover the majority of his filmography and have plenty of laughs along the way! Thank you to Patrick for being a consistently smart, insightful guest with plenty to say.

This week, Film Comment is reporting from Berlin, where the 2024 Berlinale kicked off on February 15. Throughout the festival, we'll be sharing daily podcasts, dispatches, and interviews covering all the highlights of this year's selection, including new films by Olivier Assayas, Mati Diop, Bruno Dumont, Hong Sangsoo, and many more. Subscribe to the Film Comment Letter to stay up-to-date. One of the early and most anticipated premieres of this year's festival was Olivier Assayas's new film Suspended Time. It's a kind of companion piece to his 2008 movie Summer Hours, not to mention his recent TV series Irma Vep, although Suspended Time is the filmmaker's most direct foray yet into autofiction. The film is based on the time that Assayas spent during the pandemic lockdowns of 2020 confining with his brother Etienne—and their two partners—in their childhood home in the French countryside. The film stars Vincent Macaigne as a thinly veiled onscreen surrogate for Assayas (as in Irma Vep) and features dramatized scenes of the two brothers bonding, clashing, and reminiscing on the ways in which this house and home shaped them as artists and as men. Assayas also weaves interludes throughout the film, narrated by the director himself, in which he reflects on the objects and the landscapes of his youth, and how they've influenced his cinema. On today's Podcast, FC Co-Editor Devika Girish interviewed Assayas about the making of the film, his thoughts on the genre of autofiction, and his relationship with his leading man, Vincent Macaigne, who he describes as an “agent of chaos.”

On this week's Talkhouse Podcast we have the pleasure of reuniting two intensely creative individuals who first worked together decades ago: Emily Haines and Olivier Assayas. Haines is, of course, the singer and primary songwriter for the band Metric, which she's been fronting for the past 20-plus years, and which sprang from the same fertile Canadian scene that gave the world Broken Social Scene and Stars, among many others—in fact, it's Haines' voice that you hear on Broken Social Scene's biggest (and I would argue best) song, “Anthems for a Seventeen-Year-Old Girl.” But her primary focus over the years has of course been Metric, which just released their ninth album of thought-provoking indie-rock anthems, Formentera II. It's a sequel to the excellent album they released exactly a year prior, and another collection of danceable, fantastic songs. Check out “Just the Once,” from Formentera II, which Haines describes as “regret disco.” So what does a catchy Canadian indie band have to do with a fearless French filmmaker like Olivier Assayas? A lot, as it turns out. Back when Assayas was prepping his 2004 film Clean, he needed a band to perform in a scene, and when he saw Metric, everything clicked: You can see the band perform their early hit “Dead Disco” in the movie, and Haines and Assayas hit it off after working together. Like Metric, Assayas has created an incredible body of work over the years, and done it—again like Metric—by following his own muse. His best-known films include Irma Vep, Clouds of Sils Maria, and 2016's Personal Shopper, for which he was proclaimed Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival. In a strange twist, he was asked to re-created Irma Vep as a TV series for HBO, which he did under the condition that he have total artistic freedom. That came out last year, and it's definitely worth checking out. These two get right into a great discussion about how they approach creating their art: Both rely on instinct rather than any desire for commercial success. They talk about the real Formentera—it's an island in Spain—versus the one Haines created for these albums. They touch on Haines' father, a well-known poet, and how that might have figured into her creative growth. Also, you'll learn from this chat that every piano has one great song in it. Enjoy. Thanks for listening to the Talkhouse Podcast, and thanks to Emily Haines and Olivier Assayas for chatting.

“Asa Nisi Masa:” 8 ½ at Sixty It is an intriguing coincidence that perhaps the two greatest films ever made about the creative breakthroughs and heartbreaks involved in making a film are both celebrating major anniversaries in 2023. First, Federico Fellini's raucous, post-modern celebration of his own creative process, "8 ½" turns sixty. It's important to note, though, that while we see no filmmaking in that film, the actual portrayal of the logistical and emotional vicissitudes of film creation are very much at the heart of François Truffaut's much-beloved "Day for Night", which itself turns fifty this year. We will focus most of our time in this episode on Fellini's film, taking our intrepid listeners on a tour that begins with an opening that stands as the most brilliant metaphor for creative blockage ever put on film, all the way through the end with the circus band playing Nino Rota's indelible march as every character we've seen from the director's past and present joins hands and dances in perhaps the most life-affirming moment in all of film. We then use Fellini's work as a springboard to discuss the other films about filmmaking that we love, starting with "Day for Night", and bringing in works ranging in tone from Assayas' "Irma Vep" to Jonze's "Adaptation" to Burton's loving tribute to Ed Wood. Finally, we'll take a quick peek at this year's two great portraits of the filmmaker as a young man, Gray's "Armageddon Time" and Spielberg's "The Fabelmans" (though honestly, I'd take J.J. Abrams' "Super 8" over either of them). But it's important to keep in mind that all of these wonderful films probably never even come close to happening without Fellini blazing the trail. To paraphrase the master himself, he may have had nothing to say, but fortunately for all of us, he found the most brilliant way to say it all the same. Grazie mille, maestro!

Olivier Assayas wrote and directed "Irma Vep" that portrays the state of French cinema at the time by placing the audience in the middle of making a film. A film about a film like how Assayas did is very invasive in an artful way. I briefly explain this method in this episode. I really enjoyed the film, it's nice to see people break down in normal situations, it's nice to see how people coexist despite their upbringings. It's not said but it's displayed and I think it adds progressive tendencies as to why we do the things we do.#irmavep #maggiecheung #morningreel

Quase trinta anos depois do filme e mais de um século após a série original, Irma Vep está de volta e mais cool do que nunca - agora na telinha! Retornando à televisão, Olivier Assayas faz sua primeira aventura pela HBO com um “remake” do filme que o consagrou no pop em formato de minissérie, agora escalando Alicia Vikander para o papel da atriz que interpreta a icônica personagem do cinema francês numa produção às avessas. E com a metalinguagem em alta, é apenas óbvio que a série triplique o volume de comentários incisivos sobre a indústria do cinema, ainda mais numa era onde obras viraram conteúdo e o meio - mais do que nunca - é movido pelo capital. No Cinemático 311, Carlos Merigo, Guilherme Jacobs e Pedro Strazza conversam sobre a minissérie, comparam com o filme de 1996 e analisam o que Assayas busca tirar de novo nessa nova versão.

This week's podcast initially began as a sequel to our episode about Irma Vep from a few weeks ago, in which Adam Nayman and Beatrice Loayza joined us to discuss Olivier Assayas's new HBO series. We had only seen four episodes at the time, and we wanted to reconvene our guests, now that the miniseries has finished its run of eight episodes. But as we dug into the film-within-a-film rabbit holes of Irma Vep, its commentaries on auteurism and autofiction, and how it blurs the lines between reality, narrative, and fantasy, we realized that it echoed the themes of another series everyone has been talking about recently: The Rehearsal, by Nathan Fielder. So this episode brings you a double dose of meta: Irma Vep and The Rehearsal, and the ethics of making movies about oneself, other people, and movie-making itself.

These last two weeks, HBO Max has been serving up catnip for cinephiles with Olivier Assayas's new, mind-bendingly metatextual show, Irma Vep. In 1996, Assayas made a film with the same title, about the attempts of an aging French filmmaker to remake Louis Feuillade's classic silent serial, Les vampires, with Maggie Cheung as the original vamp, Irma Vep. The new series expands on and reimagines that premise with a mise-en-abyme structure: here, a neurotic filmmaker seemingly modeled on Assayas remakes Feuillade's serial for a contemporary, binge-TV audience. Alicia Vikander plays Mira Harberg, an American pop heroine who is cast as Irma Vep among a glossy, transnational crew of actors. In the four episodes available to critics so far, Irma Vep engages with its multiple sources, its medium, and the lives of its creators in increasingly surprising and thought-provoking ways. On this week's podcast, FC editors Devika Girish and Clinton Krute invited critics Adam Nayman and Beatrice Loayza to dig into the series' endless rabbit holes and riffs on the history of serials, cinema, and, well, content.
