A Useful Life

Beautiful and delicate. The plain routine of a plain man, the only highlight being his job at a movie club. Everyone who loves movie clubs and has sweet memories around them is touched. Like when a director says that was the place where he watched movies that changed him. I guess every movie fan has that place. It seems a simple narrative, but also a celebration of cinema as an art. And at the same time, the spectator bonds to this plain man with an heroic task of taking movies to people. When the movie club shuts down, the character of that plain man develops beautifully. A person so intimately linked to movies could not be that plain... Short, entertaining and poetic, it left a smile on my face.
