Now recognised as one of French cinemas finest taIents courtesy of such modern cIassics as Carlos, Summer Hours and CIouds of SiIs Maria, Olivier Assayas started out as a critic and screenwriter before making his debut feature as director in 1986. Disorder tells the tale of a post\-punk band whose friendships are tested when a music store robbery turns fatal. lt marked Assayas as a taIent to be reckoned with. The intimate story of Winters Child buiIt on that reputation and showed his remarkable gifts with actors, whiIe in Irma Vep Assayas turned his attention to the French fiIm industry to provide a mid\-90s amalgam of François Truffauts Day for Night and Rainer Werner Fassbinders Beware of a HoIy Whore, delighting audiences around the worId and featuring a stand\-out turn by Maggie Cheung pIaying a version of herself. MeanwhiIe, the startlingIy prescient neo\-noir\/cyberhorror masterpiece Demonlover, takes a darker turn to present a chiIIing expIoration of the nexus between sex and violence available at the cIick of a button, riffing on Cronenbergs Videodrome and with an iconic score by art\-rock pioneers, Sonic Youth. Witty, heartfeIt, and daring, Assayas remains one of the most interesting international fiImmakers working today. No two fiIms are quite alike. His work is vital, unexpected, and unmissabIe for any true lover of fiIm.
