What is IFFR Unleashed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

NEW: Clean<\/strong> by Olivier Assayas (IFFR 2005)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Olivier Assayas returned to IFFR 2026 with his latest feature The Wizard of the Kremlin<\/strong>, which had its Dutch premiere in the Limelight section at IFFR 2026. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than twenty years previous he brought Clean<\/strong> to Rotterdam, following Emily \u2013 a former hanger-on of the music scene \u2013 as she tries to rebuild her life after addiction and prison in the aftermath of a rock star’s sudden death. Back on the outside, she attempts to reconnect with the young son she left behind while finding her footing on a fragile path toward sobriety and responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assayas crafts a restrained and compassionate portrait of recovery, carried by a raw, intimate performance from Cheung Maggie and set against the fading atmosphere of early-2000s indie rock culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t
