Juliette Binoche and Guillaume Canet star in Double Vies: Olivier Assayas meets Woody Allen in a film full of fascinating dialogue, an acute reflection on middle-age in times of the algorithm . Alain is an editor trying to adapt to a world dominated by technology, married to Selena, an actress bogged down in her fame as the protagonist of a famous TV series.
