Non-fiction is a French film which provides a perspective on the contemporary book publishing world with references to social media, blogs and ebooks.
It also explores fidelity, creativity and fictionality.
I love Juliette Binoche and she doesn't disappoint. Her husband in the film was also in La Belle Epoque, which I would recommend if you are looking for a quirky wonderful film.
There is a solid cast of characters in Non-Fiction with some clever lines in the script.
The future of the arts and good fiction remains an open one. This film adds to that conversation in a humourous story about extra marital affairs and how the modern relationship may be evolving.
It feels aspirational in its depiction of life, love and careers. The subtlety of it, as with many foreign films, leaves you pondering what do we takeaway from it all? If you are interested in publishing a book or a career in that space, I would definitely recommend it. Look out for the Taylor Swift reference if you're a Swifty fan.
Some of the scenes between the couples were laugh out loud funny. There are parts of the film which were slow and perhaps not suitable for my increasingly short attention span. However, it was an enjoyable little break from a tiring week in which my brain needed to slow down and focus on a work of fiction ironically called Non-fiction.
Non-fiction is available on streaming sites.
