“It's
an exasperating, irresistible, must-see mess of a movie
about life in the modern world and so very good that even
when its story finally crashes and burns the filmmaking
remains unscathed.” Manohla Dargis | Los Angeles

“Demonlover”
entrepreneurs are not the common sort: from Paris to Tokyo,
they deal in the incredibly lucrative industry of television
and internet pornography. The gains at stake are high, thus
creating an intricate plot of international espionage. At
the center of the story, a young and successful beauty, Diane,
uses her access to the top executives of the company where
she is working in order to spy for the competition. She thinks
she is mastering the game, until she discovers that she is
no longer manipulating, but he is being manipulated instead.
Through a well-crafted storyline, Olivier Assayas shares a
sophisticated reflection on the fine line between fiction
and reality and explores the preponderance of images in today’s
society.
