Late August, Early September (1999)

"Late August, Early September" is Olivier Assayas's intimate French drama. It follows a tangled circle of friends and lovers in Paris. The film drifts through love, ambition, and mortality with a loose, handheld style that favors emotional honesty over polish. Virginie Ledoyen anchors the ensemble with a performance that feels lived-in rather than staged. The archive holds 2 scenes from the film, catching her nude and unguarded on screen. It's a small entry in her filmography, but a striking one for fans tracking her more revealing work.
