Reviews

Amazon.co.uk Review
Time Out, which won the Lion of the Year at Venice in 2000, is a midlife crisis film with a difference. Vincent is an out-of-work consultant who fabricates an increasingly complex and unsustainable business life to give his wife and children a secure existence. In the process, old friends are caught up in shady investments and Geneva becomes the focal point of his fugitive career. Then, as the net closes, the eternally routine nature of Vincent's professional life returns to haunt him anew.

Aurélien Récoing is persuasively understated in the lead role, conveying a myriad of emotions with his subtle facial gestures. Karin Viard is sympathetic as the trusting Muriel, ready to offer support even when the web of lies has all but unravelled, and there's an engaging contribution from Serge Livrozet--the adept black marketeer sincere in his willingness to help.

Laurent Cantet's direction is a fine example of less is more, sustaining the film with relative ease over 129 minutes. Pierre Milon's camerawork makes the most of some stunning scenery on the Franco-Swiss border and Jocelyn Pook's spare but brooding score is a discreetly effective enhancement. As the closing scene ties up loose ends with a neatly barbed irony, you're left in little doubt that Vincent's problems are about to start again. --Richard Whitehouse

5.0 out of 5 stars A Man out of Time, 11 Aug 2004
By wabrit (Derbyshire) - See all my reviews
This magnificent film is the second to be directed by Lauren Cantet who, on the evidence of this and his cinematic debut "Human Resources" (now thankfully also available in the UK), must surely rank as the most talented director working in France today. It's hard to think of another director, past or present, who forges such consummate art from the subject of work and the workplace.

The film draws some of its inspiration from a sensational real-life case, but effectively removes the more violent and melodramatic aspects of that tale to create something more considered, affecting and cooly intelligent. Rather than reveal any of the plot (which would lessen the impact of the film), it suffices to say that it is gripping, though-provoking and so beautifully filmed that the 129 minutes pass very quickly.

The performances are superb, especially Aurélien Récoing in the lead role who is completely convincing in what is a difficult role to pull off, but achieves volumes of expression with the merest facial tick or body movement.

The DVD is excellent; in addition to superb sound and picture quality there is a text interview with the director which provides a good deal of useful context to the film, and an interesting filmed interview with Laurent Cantet which focuses on this film and his earlier (made for TV) feature "Les Sanguinaires".

Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favourite films (ignore the 1 star reviews), 9 Jan 2008
One of the general rules of buying French langauge films is that you have to wade through a lot of idiotic, blinkered reviews to come to anything near the true rating of the film. This is a beautifully stark film, a compelling story of one mans 'midlife crisis' and loss of identity - how he defined himself by his job and his family relationships, and as he loses these he loses track of himself. I'd rate this film as one of my personal favourites. If you find foreign langauge films 'pretentious', think subtitles are boring, and think that Hollywood is currently at some sort of a all-time creative peak, go and rent Big Moma's House or something equally 'crazy', otherwise do yourself a favour + buy this.

5.0 out of 5 stars A totally absorbing study of a man and his attempt to escape from his life, 3 Jun 2006
By pliget (London) - See all my reviews
Although based on a true story that violent denouement is dropped which might make one wonder what is left. Yet, thanks to wonderful performances, from Aurelien Recoing in particular, one is drawn into the film, sharing his uncertainties and sense of apartness. The ending could be read in different ways depending on one's frame of mind and one is left with a feeling that one has been affected at a deeper level than most transient film experiences. Truly a film that stays with you. When you have watched some rubbish and want your 2 hours back watch this to make up for it.
