*CHARLES, DEAD OR ARIVE* (1969), directed by Alain Tanner
Charles—a man who slips through your fingers just as you try to grasp him.
The film features exquisitely composed shots and a masterful interweaving of human relationships.
One moment he is fired up with emotion, only to cool down just as quickly and retreat into his own shell; I felt as though the inherent instability of human nature was being laid bare.
