In the Aisles (2018)
(In den Gängen)
Country: GER
Technical: col/1.66:1 125m
Director: Thomas Stuber
Cast: Franz Rogowski, Sandra Hüller, Peter Kurth, Andreas Leupold
Synopsis:
A former young offender gets a job on probation at a cash and carry, where he becomes accepted as one of the team and falls in love with the girl in the sweet goods aisle.
Review:
Divided into longish sections devoted to the three main characters, this nevertheless homogeneous narrative takes its time revealing their backstories to us while emphasizing the repetitiveness of their daily routine. Unlike in films such as The Measure of a Man, however, the workplace becomes a second, even a first, home in which we alone feel safe. As understated a reminder as the cinema has given in a long time of the old maxim that it is the working man who is the happy man, it is beautifully made but perilously short on incident for its two-hour running time.
