Artistic Range
The same director, Olivier Assayas, made both L'heure d'ete and Demonlover.
Summer Hours is a gentle portrait of generational change, and the delights
of bourgeois life (highly recommended).
Demonlover, though it passes the Bechtel test, is not something I'd
recommend. It combines corporate espionage, internet porn, hentai, and
revenge in a rather disgusting package with more plot turns than a Wire in
the Blood episode.
Hard to believe the same person would want to work on both. Such range.
