Elsa Keslassy International Correspondent Olivier Assayas, the celebrated French director of “Clouds of Sils Maria” and “Irma Vep,” is making his Berlinale competition debut this year with “Suspended Time,” his most personal film to date. Speaking to Variety ahead of the movie’s premiere at the Berlinale, Assayas says the film retells his experience during the lockdown and is based on his personal diary.

There is a sense of a running gag in Hors du Temps (renamed Suspended Time for the English-language market).

"Irma Vep" star Alicia Vikander reminisced about her early years in the spotlight during a new interview with The Times of London, saying she was "the most sad at the height of [her] fame." The 33-year-old Swedish actress, who broke through internationally with Nikolaj Arcel’s Oscar-nominated "A Royal Affair" in 2012, became a global star after back-to-back knockout performances in the sci-fi thriller "Ex Machina" and transgender romance "Danish Girl," the latter of which earned her a best supporting actress Oscar in 2016. During that time, however, Vikander said she felt lonelier than ever. "When, in other people’s eyes, I was at my height of fame, I was the most sad.
