Assayas has such an ability to manifest some of the most vulnerable emotions out of situations that seem to take on more than just relationships with people, but with concepts of identity, culture, and the responsibilities we have for all of them. Amazing piece of work, especially in a time when our artistic culture in in such a vibrant transition, that the question remains not of it's worth, but of it's practical value in terms of modernism.
