Extension du domaine de la lutte (1999)
Philippe Harel both starred in and directed this existential tale of angst, sex, and mass consumption. The protagonist, known only as Our Hero, is a lonely computer programmer who earns enough money but has no friends and has not had sex in over two years. Depressed, he basks in his sullen interior ruminations about the meaninglessness of mass consumption and human contact. One day, he teams up with Raphael Tisserand (Jose Garcia), a 28-year-old virgin who runs training seminars. Neither has ever had any kind of positive contact, and after they meet, their chances of improving their prospects seem as remote as ever. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi
