Up in the Air (2009)
Country: US
Technical: col 109m
Director: Jason Reitman
Cast: George Clooney, Vera Farmiga, Natalie Keener
Synopsis:
A man works for a firm that sells its services to companies wishing to fire their own employees but wanting someone else to do it for them. Priding himself on his homeless, baggage-free existence, and patiently watching his air miles stack up towards his target figure, he suddenly finds his ordered existence under threat from two very different female quarters.
Review:
Deliciously deadpan satire of American corporate impersonality, with an undertow of melancholy which builds towards the bittersweet finale. The footage of the victims is achingly real and unmediated via reverse shots, and Clooney again shows he can carry a thoughtful picture with effortless humour and grace.
