Un Homme Qui Crie (A Screaming Man)

Mahmat-Saleh Haroun - 2010
Pretty painful arthouse stuff, with no real obvious faults. Man wanders about beiing a bit miserable, with good reason. Always him being filmed, little more than superficial concern with anyone else. Huge widescreen not really used. Some close-ups, long takes, twos and threes. Pretty predictable miserable things happen. Chuck in 'real life sensuality' food etc, a facile 'young people take cameras rather than really experience', and some pretty pictures, and you get inoffensive boredom.
