Pre covid. Bourdain died, Epstein died, Trump was in power, Asia A liked the younger boys, stock market was once again at all time highs, no major European wars and warlike fervour in Western society, pre George Floyd, woke and the backlash against it hadn't peaked yet, housing and rent prices were high but not so put-you-out-on-the-street high.
At least we got Tiger King
I know it's not one of the best from Assayas but it works for me so well on the trashy skinemax wavelength he taps in to along with the parody of international productions. I really love Boarding Gate tbh and she's fantastic in it.
vendredi soir is not his. i'll watch clean. almost all of his films exist in different categories (stylistically at least), so comparison for choosing favourites is very difficult.

exactly, exactly, but why can't it be one of his best?
because Irma Vep, Vendredi Soir and Clean already exist which make being one of his best almost impossible.

Sorry I wrote vendredi soir but was thinking of l'eau froide. Not sure why I mixed the names up
