I Stand Alone (1998)


A drama by Gaspar Noe.
A butcher who has lost his shop moves in with his girlfriend's family. After arriving home late and having a fight, he leaves to go to Paris alone with very little money and little chance of finding work.
Most of the words spoken were a monologue by the main character. The film is French and the subtitles go by quickly, so I had to pay close attention. This butcher character is very angry at the world in general and likes to explain exactly why he's so pissed. I found it amusing that most of the French curse words were extremely short compared to the English equivalent. The camera-work was interesting because it had a lot of abrupt changes. I'm rating this adequate.
