Director: Olivier Assayas

Chloë Sevigny, Connie Nielsen, and Gina Gershon are sleek rival agents playing games of cloak and dagger skullduggery, vying for a piece of a Japanese company on the cutting edge of animated 3D pornography. The glassy, glossy surfaces of this prescient thriller are offset by a raw, ragged Sonic Youth soundtrack, as boardroom poise threatens to give way to open savagery in a narrative that glides from Paris to Tokyo to backwater Mexico to the American suburbs, all with the speed of a broadband signal.
