Paris, 13th District (2021) review

Four individuals living in (or around) Les Olympiades in Paris are trying to sort out their lives: salesperson Émilie (Lucie Zhang) rents out a room to teacher (and doctoral candidate) Camille (Makita Samba) and they immediately start to sleep together but she's temperamental and he bolts; law student Nora (Noémie Merlant) goes to a party wearing a wig and is mistaken for famous camgirl Amber Sweet (Jehnny Beth), leaves school humiliated and gets a job in real estate ... with Camille (it's his side gig).  Audiard, along with Céline Sciamma and Léa Mysius, attempt to "merge" parts of American graphic novelist Adrian Tomine's Summer Blonde and Killing and Dying and nothing sticks (except coincidences) and the inhabitants needed fleshing out figuratively instead of literally: Émilie's behavior is repellent and she possibly has borderline personality disorder (she even pays a roommate to visit her Grandmother with Alzheimer's so she doesn't have to do it), Nora may have had a sexual relationship with her Uncle (which is supposed to "explain" her frigidness ... and attraction to women) ... and Camille is out there collecting bodies (while being polite - if a little cold - about it).  The finale has the audacity to suggest everyone's got it figured out, but since I am a betting man I'm just going to laugh (and wager accordingly).
