The assistant to the actress is on my last nerve. Too much of that hipster, awkward , nerd vibe going on and its all too real and all too annoying. How much of it is the character and not the actress? Do they offer social skill classes like they did in the 40's and 50's anymore?
Anyways, there's some light humorous jokes - dark humor and no Carrie Brownstein, so that's the bright side. The German actor, Lars Edinger, playing Gottfried is absolutely brilliant.
And I do like the show's sentiments on the desire to generally produce great art that adds something to the world, despite the indulgences of the medium and how pop culture swallows up true beauty and spits it out into crass, throw away noise.
But the neurotic, obsessive indulgence of director Assayas, and the celebration of celebrity culture is definitely on maximum display in episode 6.
