I almost always dislike that sort of handheld camera movement. It was
a fad for a while in TV series and commercials, and it annoyed me.
However, Assayas does it about as well as anyone, and in at least
a few scenes his camera evokes the sense of intimacy and honesty that 
all the other wobbly cameras try for and fail to achieve.
