Heartbeat Detector La question humaine
|
|
|
The tightly composed visual surface of Nicolas Klotz’s atmospheric drama conceals disturbing questions about man’s inhumanity to man. Simon is a human resources manager in a big chemical company, and has a highly professional approach to work. He is a well-dressed “corporate terminator”, who sees the company’s efficiency as his first priority. This is why he is also the ideal candidate to secretly investigate the company’s director, Mathias Jüst, whose behaviour is slightly too eccentric. Simon decides to use Just’s passion for classical music to come closer to him. But Simon’s restless soul, which is only set free at weekend techno raves, is in no way prepared for the grave crimes he starts coming across. Klotz unfolds his story slowly and with fascinating consistency. Even when he pulls the carpet from under the audience halfway through, it takes time before the revelations sink in. Threads are spun all the way back to the Second World War and questions arise regarding the modern and “efficient” ways of running a business. Music plays a central part, and Mathieu Amalric (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly) and Michael Lonsdale (Munich) deliver strong performances as Simon and Just, making the film a sophisticated and engaging thriller.
Nicolas Klotz
Born 1954 in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France. He has made numerous portrait films about musicians, among others Ravi Shankar. In 1995, he started a theatre company together with the screenwriter Elisabeth Perceval. They have since worked together in both theatre and film, e.g. Paria (2000), The Wound (2004) and Hearbeat Detector (2007).
