Adapted from the play by David Ives (which played at the Huntington Theater in January 2014), this fascinating film tells the story of an actress (Emmanuelle Seigner) attempting to convince a director (Mathieu Amalric) that she’s perfect for a role in his upcoming production. As her audition progresses, the director--and the audience--must confront questions of obsession, identity, power and even reality. Roman Polanski won the César for Best Director for this film in 2014.
