Something in the Air

A low-key, unevenly paced, disconnected, albeit thought-provoking, 2-hour, 2012 semiautobiographical Olivier Assayas French film that follows a 17-year-old, artistic, political activist high school student (Clément Métayer), who has a passion for painting and filmmaking, as he spends his days enlightening and educating "the petit bourgeoisie" along with other idealistic revolutionaries (Hugo Conzelmann, Felix Armand, India Salvor Menuez, et al.) through fervent protests, by painting graffiti, by writing pertinent articles for liberal political publications, and by distributing pamphlets on the streets and eventually hiding out in Italy for the summer and passing time with equally passionate teenage girls (Carole Combes and Lola Créton) in 1971.
