Hold Me Tight, the latest directorial venture from actor and filmmaker Mathieu Amalric, is a riveting, kaleidoscopic entry to the canon of movies about women on the verge. The film, which opened on September 9, features Vicky Krieps as Clarisse, a young mother on the run who may\u2014or may not, depending on your reading of the story\u2014be going through indescribable grief. The actor turns in a performance of mesmerizing fluidity and mystery, as Amalric\u2019s elliptical storytelling keeps the audience guessing about the nature of Clarisse\u2019s reality.\xa0\n\nLast week, Film Comment Co-Deputy Editors Clinton Krute and Devika Girish welcomed the director and star for a Film Comment Live talk about their new movie, the narrative and cinematic balancing act of depicting a mind in flux, the film\u2019s imaginative use of music, and much more.
