Late August, Early September

Late August, Early September (Fin août, début septembre) is a 1998 French drama film directed by Olivier Assayas and starring Mathieu Amalric.

Plot
Adrien (François Cluzet), a writer who has had only marginal commercial success as a bestselling author, discovers that he is dying and tells his friend Gabriel (Mathieu Amalric), with whom he has had a tumultuous relationship. Gabriel tries to attend to his friend while making sense of his complicated romantic life, torn between dependable Jenny (Jeanne Balibar) and volatile Anne (Virginie Ledoyen). Unlike Adrien, Gabriel is not a risk-taker: His career path as an editor at a publishing house is steady and secure. He edits an encyclopedia while his older friend attempts to write his greatest book yet. Meanwhile, other friends of Adrien struggle to assess their lives and careers in the wake of his revelation.
