In the second half of our episode, we check out Clouds of Sils Maria (2014), which is definitely a tonal shift from the first half.

Kristen Stewart is the American assistant to an international star of stage and screen played by Juliette Binoche. The death of a former mentor leads her to consider the implications of time, aging, culture in general, and the blurring lines between relationships. We're making it sound a little dry here, but it's truly compelling.

COMING ATTRACTIONS:
