This short film from PARIS, JE T'AIME (2006) shows Olivier Assayas' softer side. It tells the story of an American actress and her French drug dealer. Despite a palpable desire between the two, they are hesitant to act on their impulses, perhaps they do not want to mix work and pleasure. A drastic shift in tone from DEMONLOVER, Assayas' short demonstrates his love for fluid camera movements, cinema, and incomplete or open narrative structure. Even this film manages to incorporate an suspenseful ending that leaves the audience hanging, wondering what will happen next.
