Something in the Air is set in the chaos of the early 1970s and centers on a high-school student trying to find his way in life, between the left wing's drift towards violence, the maze of an unattainable revolution and his doubts about a troubled artistic vocation. (mubi.com)

Am Ende des Sommers kühlt sich Gilles Interesse für Politik und die Revolution aber wieder ab und er beschliesst, zurückzukehren in die Schule. Er überlegt, einen Film zu machen mit Monstern und Nazis. Vielleicht wirds die perfekte Fusion aus Kunst und Politik?

Assayas' unabashed mash note to the post-May '68 counterculture could have been somewhat insufferable if it weren't so obviously deeply felt and personal (the formative influence of the Situationist International on him is something he's talked about before). It's not like he hasn't addressed this material elsewhere, if anything it's a throwback to Cold Water with some of Carlos' revolutionary spirit thrown in. Even more so it can be seen as a companion piece to Garrel's Regular Lovers.

Assayas evokes the specific time period with such vivid clarity and his wistful depiction of growing up amid the tumultuous environment of youthful idealism and unbridled artistic expression is admirable but the film eventually wallows in its complacent, laid-back atmosphere and frustratingly fails to muster enough thematic intensity or conviction to mean much. In the end, we recognize that the characters have changed but we don't feel it.

32. İstanbul Film Festivali - Atlas Sineması: Sert bir politik film izleyeceğimiz izlenimi oluşturacak şekilde açılan film, ilerledikçe mevzudan uzaklaşıp, konu edindiği kuşağın ruh haline odaklanıyor. Çok iyi olmasa da, derli toplu.

"Olivier Assayas's film is content to comfortably coast along the directionless courses charted by its characters." - Nick Schager
