Watch Something in the Air Movie Online No Survey On behalf of Sundance Selects, you and a guest are invited to a screening of SOMETHING IN THE AIR, the newest film by French filmmaker Olivier Assayas. Following his critical triumphs, SUMMER HOURS and CARLOS, Assayas' semi-autobiographical new feature is a vibrant, incisively crafted story of a young man's artistic awakening in the politically turbulent French student movement of the early '70s. In a nod to his earlier film COLD WATER, Assayas' surrogate Gilles (newcomer Clement Metayer) is a graduating high school student in Paris deeply involved in the counterculture of the time. While Gilles begins to realize that his interests lie more in the revolutions in music and art, he finds himself pulled into ever more dangerous political protests by the people around him, especially his radicalized girlfriend (Lola Créton of GOODBYE FIRST LOVE). Illuminating and elegiac, Assayas' story celebrates that thrilling, evanescent moment in history when young people could feel revolution just within their grasp.

Review For Something in the Air
Worth seeing for what it says of the turbulent state of France in the early 1970s, when Mr. Assayas was a high-school student in Paris ... Joe Morgenstern-Wall Street Journal A clear-eyed - if largely plot-free - memory play from writer-director Olivier Assayas, whose previous films have veered from the bizarre ("Demonlover," "Boarding Gate") to the poignant ("Summer Hours"). Ty Burr-Boston Globe Depending on your tolerance for nostalgia, "Something in the Air" is either a bracing flashback to the 1970s wave of student radical fervor or a lengthy ride with some singularly self-righteous and naive troublemakers. Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune Fans of Assayas's "Cold Water" and "Summer Hours" will appreciate the fluid camerawork that snakes from room to room in some of the most seductive adolescent party scenes ever committed to film. Jim Emerson-Chicago Sun-Times The whole film, though it kicks off with a riot and a firebombing, soon acquires a listless and guttering air ... Anthony Lane-New Yorker Assayas doesn't bring out the fiery best in this material, but he's smart enough to know that revolutionaries like their comforts as much as the ruling class does. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor The film looks good and captures the period feel of the time but the characters/actors fall far short of these qualities. Robin Clifford-Reeling Reviews The storytelling is wispy but, short of time travel, it's as close as you'll get to be a young French radical in the 1970s. Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press Assayas has gathered a large, mostly inexperienced cast to create a mural of mood, a time when idealism was paramount, at least until the members of a political group begin to drift into their own destinies. Laura Clifford-Reeling Reviews It looks great, it sounds great...it'll inspire a hundred magazine photo-shoots, and it's got plenty of substance. Oliver Lyttelton-The Playlist Emotionally resonating. Assayas has a keen eye for period detail and atmosphere. Avi Offer-NYC Movie Guru Befitting a movie that's deeply autobiographical, Something in the Air has the vivid details of someone's memories, but it also has the shapelessness too. Jack Rodgers-TV Guide's Movie Guide Ought to interest anyone who has a soft spot for 60s/70s radicals, the French, rock n' roll, sex, long hair, dancing, painting, Pompeii and saying ridiculous things like "shouldn't revolutionary cinema employ revolutionary syntax?" Jordan Hoffman-Badass Digest Filmmakers turn out routine coming-of-age stories in their sleep. Something in the Air is made with such precision, clarity and sweep that it redefines the genre.
