Director: Olivier Assayas
Starring: Christa Théret | Guillaume Canet | Juliette Binoche | Nora Hamzawi | Vincent Macaigne
Michael says: ” NON-FICTION is the latest film by Olivier Assayas, starring the ubiquitous, yet always reliable Juliette Binoche; a talky, smart, amusing story of a publisher, an author and their wives set in the changing world of publishing. Much
