Alternating a thinly fictionalised portrait of the artist isolating at his family\u2019s country home with fully autobiographical narration by the director himself, this mildly amusing but vastly indulgent bagatelle feels a tardy entry in the first wave of lockdown cinema \u2014 too late to feel fresh, but still too soon to have accumulated much meaningful perspective on an experience we all remember too well. Assayas devotees will take some pleasure in its formal fillips and self-references. Others need not <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    At its most interesting \u2014 and quietly gossipy, if you are so minded \u2014 \u201cSuspended Time\u201d could be read as a reply work of sorts to \u201cBergman Island,\u201d a more ornate but similarly self-reflexive 2021 film by Assayas\u2019 ex-partner Mia Hansen-L\u00f8ve. Written in the wake of their separation, Hansen-L\u00f8ve\u2019s film mused somewhat tartly on the challenges of preserving one\u2019s sense of self while maintaining a relationship with an older artist who regards you as a subject as well as a lover. Played by Tim Roth, said artist was plainly modeled on Assayas. Now, Assayas\u2019 latest features a clear Hansen-L\u00f8ve proxy: Flavia (Maud Wyler), now split from the helmer\u2019s alter ego Paul (Vincent Macaigne), sternly smokes and dispenses passive-aggressive criticism over Zoom as they negotiate the upbringing of their daughter Britt (Magdalena Lafont) in a time of moderate crisis. As public celebrity flame wars go, this is as civil and sun-dappled as they come.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Flavia is only an intermittent presence in \u201cSuspended Time,\u201d however, and the film dwells minimally on their past \u2014 instead presenting Paul, pandemic anxieties notwithstanding, in a placid and happily loved-up present. It\u2019s April 2020, and the filmmaker is waiting out the lockdown in his rambling rural childhood home in Chevreuse, a sleepy commune south of Paris. The house, cluttered and creaky and book-lined, is still in much the state of luxuriously bohemian disarray that his late parents left it, with a tennis court nestled in the sprawling, verdantly overgrown garden. It\u2019s pretty much the model of where everyone would like to have isolated for months on end, give or take the additional presence of Etienne (Micha Lescot), Paul\u2019s rakish music-journo brother. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Paul and Etienne\u2019s respective girlfriends, Morgane (Nina D\u2019Urso) and Carole (Nora Hamzawi), complete a ragtag domestic quartet, and the film\u2019s scant dramatic conflict hinges on the minor irritations that bristle between them \u2014 familiar to anyone who felt a little too close to their nearest and dearest in those strange, out-of-time months. There\u2019s minor-key comedy in the brothers\u2019 odd-couple differences \u2014 Etienne is coolly unflappable, if a bit of a poseur, while Paul is a twitchy neurotic \u2014 that flare up when they attempt to cook together or squabble over the ethics of Amazon purchases. But only once Carole departs, and an unleashed Etienne finally gets candid about Paul\u2019s self-absorbed failings, does that friction gesture at something deeper. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    For the most part, however, this is an uncompellingly pleasant house arrest, shot with bleached, summery warmth by Eric Gautier, and filled with meandering, high-minded conversations about Paul\u2019s literary and artistic hobby-horses. \u201cEnough about David Hockney,\u201d Morgane instructs him toward the film\u2019s end \u2014 speaking for the audience, though not soon enough. Beyond such occasional interventions, neither of the female characters is drawn in terribly illuminating detail. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Running semi-jokes about mask-wearing anxiety and hygiene theater feel entirely played out by 2024, and well beneath Assayas\u2019 abilities as a writer, while Paul\u2019s sporadic fretting about career stasis and creative blockage is countered by others reminding him of his rampant privilege. That the film calls out its own navel-gazing only makes it feel more removed from any potential audience: What\u2019s our stake in Assayas arguing with himself?<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    It\u2019s when Assayas drops the autofiction conceit to directly articulate his relationship to the house and its surroundings \u2014 via his own characterful, faintly melancholic voiceover \u2014 that \u201cSuspended Time\u201d takes on greater emotional heft, emerging as something of a parallel piece to Assayas\u2019 lovely 2008 drama \u201cSummer Hours\u201d in its reflection on family spaces, heirlooms and their lingering resonance. It\u2019s genuinely moving to hear Assayas talking about his father\u2019s untouched office chair, or the regular running route he carved out as a teenager dreaming of eventual escape, now retraced with older, more complacent steps. Droll as Macaigne\u2019s skewed Assayas impersonation is \u2014 to the very select audience that will even recognize it as such \u2014 this auteur curio might have been richer as a first-person documentary, minus the Covid-era observations that feel specific to everyone and no one at once.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
