Radwanski creates a visceral, impossible-to-ignore document of one man’s fraught reality. It is creative, bold and even dangerous filmmaking.
Though following this man as he wheezes, snoozes, and snacks on fatty foods, we don’t feel sympathy for him, and we don’t even get the self-satisfied feeling of laughing at him, but we do, at least to some degree, get the impression of some sort of understanding.
Van Cotthem's performance is wholly convincing, which might not be something to brag about, and the film flatlines right along with him.
Whatever investigation it’s attempting, the movie is leaden in its pacing — the first 15 minutes feel like an hour — and its constricted shooting style, practically all hand-held almost close-ups, is transparent in its contrivance of realism.
