“Un Autre Homme”

A Swiss film shot in black and white which (apparently) pays homage to past European directors.

A film from the head rather than from the heart.

A young man takes a job as a film critic for a small country newspaper. He knows next to nothing about film and decides to plagiarize his articles from other film periodicals. Over the next few months he develops a sexual relationship with another film critic, smokes a lot of cigarettes, poses for the camera, runs over a fox, gets fired from his job, and gets hired at a larger, more prestigious newspaper.

Lesson learned? There isn't one...
