Now recognised as one of French cinema's finest talents courtesy of such modern classics as 'Irma Vep', 'Carlos', 'Summer Hours' and 'Clouds of Sils Maria', Olivier Assayas started out as critic and screenwriter before making his debut feature as director in 1986. The Early Films presents this work, 'Disorder', and his second feature, 'Winter's Child', in the UK for the first time.
Disorder (1986) concerns a group of friends in a post-punk band. When a robbery at a music store turns fatal,the resulting chaos threatens both their working relationship and their long-held friendships as they leave France to tour London and potentially make their big break. Released two years later, Winter's Child (1989) presents a four-person, two-couple tragedy of passion. Natalia (Marie Matheron) is pregnant, but the child's father, Stephane (Michel Feller), doesn't want to know and abandons her. Fie meets Sabine (Clotilde de Bayser), a set designer, and falls in love but she is struggling with her attachment to Bruno (Jean-Philippe Écoffey), an actor with whom she had a brief fling.
