There are no more potential-killing words of creative advice than “write what you know.” Certainly it’s a shame that when donning her screenwriter— a fine actress and a director with a deft, light touch, especially with breezy character comedy — seems to have taken them so to heart. Once again she goes back to the autobiographical well for her latest directorial trifle, “,” which she co-writes alongside Agnès De Sacy and regular collaborator Noémie Lvovsky.

The film opens in the tousled, flushed, keyed-up register in which it will continue for more than two long hours, abetted by Julien Poupard’s pretty but soapily saturated, insistently close-up camerawork. Bruni Tedeschi’s presumed avatar Stella is writhing around on the floor in the throes of simulated passion. She is auditioning for a coveted spot in Chéreau’s Theatre des Amandiers, though the volatile director, here played by the volatile Louis Garrel, is not present.

There are genuinely dramatic interludes here that could have contributed to a much better film. An AIDS scare rips through the class, who have all been youthfully, exuberantly sleeping with one another. Pierre is introduced to heroin by Etienne; Chéreau is shown snorting fat lines of cocaine.
