Suspended Time

First Run

As society recedes in the spring of 2020, film director Paul Berger (Vincent Macaigne) returns to his childhood home in the provincial Chevreuse Valley.
A scabrous French comedy from master filmmaker Olivier Assayas, Suspended Time is a sharply personal and fiercely neurotic ode to the eternal expanse of memory and the allure of life beyond our personal screens.

Suspended Time is Olivier Assayas’s most personal film to date. It’s a luminous reflection on memory, family, and the stillness of lockdown. Shot in his own childhood home and with his own narration, the film drifts between the everyday and the profound. Small rituals tun into lasting impressions. Tender, wry, and deeply human, it captures the poetry of living in pause. This is cinema for those who treasure films that invite reflection and stay with you long after the screen is dark.
