Unpredictably eccentric and deeply humane little fable about finding new ways to a meaningful life.
The protagonist's little episodic adventures recall Jacques Tati's sketches, albeit without their structural pay-offs. There's more to the highly original proceedings, but heavy-handed symbolism is fortunately absent.
The director follows his offbeat path with a sure handling of the material and without unnecessary side trips towards more conventionally melodramatic, sentimental or overly cutesy directions.
A real charmer.
