Aro Recommended Time Out

 

France 2001, 129 minutes
Dir. Laurence Cantet
In French with English subtitles
Rating: [PG]
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Drama / Sociology

 

Aroview: A subtly layered account of middle-class businessman Aurelien Recoing, who pretends to his family and friends that he is corporate highflyer, while really leading a strange non-existence driving around continental Europe.

Unable to overcome his existential demons, he eventually is drawn to contrive various con-games to keep the cashflow coming and a partnership with black marketeer Serge Livrozet, all the while masquerading as a consultant to the UN. A minimalist visual surface austerely conveys this impressively chilly comment on human obsolescence in modern society.
