Austere and open portrait of the tragedies hidden in the first world. The film has two great assets in its favor, firstly the leading actor who portrays and illustrates with excellence the hard tasks suffered by unemployed people. With his bludgeoned dog facial expressions and film-raising acting strength. The second is the editing, the film is composed of clearly defined scenes with three acts connected by quick editing cuts. Some parts can be cut out and it would not affect the plot, but by joining them together we experience with greater realism the life of the protagonist and how he is affected by the misfortunes and joys of his existence. This offers us a greater degree of empathy for the character without excessive exposure. Unfortunately when he shares presence with the rest of the cast, even if they are not bad actors, they do not reach the interpretive level of the first In short, recommended film if you want to see a very human drama

Woody Allen's "Match Point" has surprised me for the better. He had high expectations and has exceeded them. In this film Woody takes away the direct comic element, to present a sober and thoughtful story about the role of chance in life, the priorities of high society and destroys the myth of the self-made man. It does not have an innovative plot, but the depth and complexity of the main character are worthy of Dostoyevsky (read Crime and Punishment). In addition to having one of the best roles of Scarlett Johannson. 8/10
