Clouds of Sils Maria (2014)

An art film actress is convinced by her assistant to take on the role opposite the one that launched her career as a young actress, this time in a new adaptation to honor the play's author, who has recently passed away.

An artistic film that portrays realistically and yet very touchingly the semi-conflicting relationship between different generations. Juliette Binoche wonderfully embodies the stubbornness of experience and the snobbery of wisdom that does not manage to fully and objectively see the qualities of the new and modern while Kristen Stewart and Chloë Grace Moretz represent the new generation, with its many facets, either intelligence and understanding/respect for the present and for the past which the first one displays or the complete lack of said respect with a touch of megalomania and exaggerated confidence in their own person that Moretz definitely shows. Interesting and pleasant to watch.

Director:  Olivier Assayas    
With: Juliette Binoche, Kristen Stewart, Chloë Grace Moretz, Lars Eidinger

Rating: 9/10
