2. The Measure Of A Man
Release Date: Unannounced
What's The Story? A redundant factory worker tries to make money to get by, eventually getting a job at a supermarket where he has to find ways to get other employees fired.
WhatCulture Says: "Ponderous and obvious, The Measure Of A Man is the shortest film In Competition at Cannes, yet feels the most drawn out and unnecessary of the lot. Stephane Brize appears to be enamoured with long takes where the camera just kinda hangs about as if the operator forgot to stop filming. Theyre also sloppily realised, with out-of-place cuts repeatedly failing to stitch together two clearly separate shots." Read the full review
