“Few filmmakers have⟳ his feel⟳ for the flux and transience of life as we live⟳ it, and his movies are especially eloquent in depicting the passage of time, whether it’s the one-year period of awkward realignments among a constellation of Parisian friends in “Late August, Early September” (1998) or the entire life cycle of a marriage in the period epic “Les Destinées Sentimentales” (2000) or even the jet-lagged permanent-present tense of the technothriller “Demonlover” (2002).”
