Clouds of Sils Maria: while Olivier Assayas’ film doesn’t tell a particularly engaging story, it’s nevertheless an engaging film because of the strong acting and interesting dialogue (very revealing about the craft of acting, among other things). Juliette Binoche is particularly good, and her interaction with Kristen Stewart (a pleasant surprise) is what raises the film. The beautiful locations add to a sense of elegance that this film has.
