If your idea of a fun is watching a bunch of Parisian intellectuals sit around talking about the future of publishing, this is the film for you. Since it’s French, there are several extramarital affairs to add spice, but there’s no drama or emotion…just extended conversations. Even though it’s billed as a comedy, the humor eluded me. The only mildly amusing moment is when they refer to Juliette Binoche as an actor, when she’s also playing the lead in this movie. The actors are all convincing, but the film is hindered by the low-key approach and endless subject-matter chatter.  In French with subtitles. (Criterion Cinemas only)
