2024 - 69th Edition

Suspended Time

Hors du temps
Olivier Assayas
France
 - 2024
National premiere
Olivier Assayas (Irma Vep, Personal Shopper) presents his latest feature film at SEMINCI, an exploration of the past that takes as its starting point confinement in April 2020. In Suspended Time, Vincent Macaigne (Love Affair(s), Bonnard, Pierre and Marthe) and Micha Lescot (The Almond Tree, Cyrano, My Love) are two brothers: a film director and a music journalist who function as alter egos of the filmmaker and his real-life brother. Assayas accompanies the narration through a voice-over that guides the spectator through the rooms and corridors of their family home; a space that is assumed as another character, with all the memories, presences and absences it contains. Suspended Time is an exciting film that moves between family drama and comedy, giving shape to the most personal work to date by the celebrated French director.
