Got to see this at the Film Comment Selects series last night.
It's an easy film to rip apart and that aparentally has been
the critical response to it so far ("too sexy" "rambling" "cliche" etc). I loved it however. Assayas paints a very dark, hateful picture of corporate culture and much of the criticism is a failure to attribute the dizzying, sex-chic approach to that very end. The film dresses itself in that which it tears apart. I highly recommend it.
