Our take

A metaphysical follow-up to his debut Human Resources, Cantet’s moving portrait of a man’s existential dilemmas in the face of redundancy asks profound questions about success, pretense, and the true meaning of work. In Cantet’s words: “Vincent is the sincerest of liars, an actor of his own life.”
