English title: Parallell Tales
Writer Sylvie (Isabelle Huppert) is struggling with a severe case of writer’s block when she discovers an old family heirloom: a pair of binoculars. When she catches sight of a film sound studio, and Nicolas (Vincent Cassel), the words soon begin to flow again. Sounds from the studio intertwine with the film’s soundtrack as her voyeurism begins to seep into her writing. But her obsession comes at a price when her agent (Catherine Deneuve) intervenes.

Reality and fiction collide in this reimagining of Kieślowski’s A Short Film About Love, directed by multiple Oscar and Cannes award-winner Asghar Farhadi.
