The Near Future (2012)
While at work, Robin, a French immigrant pilot, receives a phone call that sends shock waves through his soul. Unseen by others, turmoil seeps into his inner world and echoes in his daily life. He will have to let this pain in, but not now. An impressionistic depiction of an all-but-ordinary day, The near future takes us to the poetic boundary between droning engines and complete silence, aerial and terrestrial, pastoral and urban, man and machine, life and death.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
