Audience Member A good idea poorly executed. Mathieu Amalric plays the staff psychologist as a large European corporation. He was pivotal in deciding which employees to cut in a recent downsizing and has found his power and influence in the corporation increasing. The deputy director approaches him with a clandestine assignment ... keep tabs on the CEO (Michael Lonsdale), who's behavior has become increasingly erratic. This leads him down a path to increasingly disturbing revelations about the company. The film is really long and glacially placed, so much so I confess I stopped caring about what was happening long before anything interesting was revealed. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member The human "question", or the human "issue", though slightly self-indulgent, pierces the heart with melancholic poetry and washed out photography. It points to the elephant in the room: the coldness of the monster inside all of us. Not for people in denial of the human condition. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Un excellent film "français" Et ils sont rares de nos jours. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member one of my favourite things is to watch a film like this one without any idea what it is and this french drama doesn't disappoint. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Un film d'une lenteur étouffant, chaque plan dure au moins 10 secondes, c'est un pamphlet, on se demande s'ils sont vraiment sérieux quand ils en arrivent à faire une liaison entre le nazisme et les entreprises, le film est vide, et quand, enfin, après 2h30 de calvaire (qui en paraissent plus, on croit que c'est fini mais non, malgré l'écran noir, on entend encore la voix d'amalric (qui malgré sa performance ne sauve pas ce navet) qui continue à parler, pendant 5 minutes ... Ce film n'est pas réussi pour la simple et bonne raison, que l'on s'ennuie et que l'on a envie de quitter la salle. En revanche j'ai bien aimé les scènes de rev party (qui nous ont réveillé en sursaut) ... Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Un film francais qui a passe sous le silence mais qui est en realite un chef-d'oeuvre. Le rhytme est lent et si vous ne ne lisez pas entre les lignes, vous ne ferez pas le parralele entre les partiques corporatives modernes de liscenciement et la bureaucratisation de la solution finale.Et oui pour la premiere fois de ma vie j'ai pleure au debut d'un generique...
