The Measure of a Man

The Headless Woman
Why this pick
It turns denial into an unsettling everyday atmosphere, following a bourgeois woman whose evasions distort domestic life with the same quiet, psychologically precise unease.
03
A Separation
Why this pick
Its carefully observed domestic realism finds immense tension in everyday compromises and concealed truths, making it a fitting match for Time Out’s pressure-cooker moral intimacy.
04
The Firemen's Ball
Why this pick
For Time Out’s cool view of institutional absurdity, this sharper social satire offers another precise portrait of people performing normality while collective systems quietly fail them.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
The film tells the story of Vincent, a middle-aged man who is fired after having spent more than 11 years working for a prestigious consulting firm. Unable to admit to his family that he has been fired, the unemployed former executive continues to pretend he is going to the office every day. In reality, Vincent spends his time aimlessly driving the highways of France and Switzerland, reading papers, or sleeping in his car.
