On the 100th anniversary of the founding of a watchmaking company in Geneva, Charles Dé the founder's 50-year-old grandson has had it: he speaks eccentrically to a reporter, recognizing his grandfather as a craftsman and his son as a businessman, but is evasive about himself. He gives his family the slip and moves in with a young couple he meets by chance, doing the cooking, reading, drinking, and engaging in philosophical discussions with them. The young couple comes to love Charles. In secret, he stays in touch with a daughter, and the rest of the family hires a private investigator to find him, setting in motion a business take-over that threatens his Bohemian happiness.

| User ReviewMatt RFascinating. A 58 year-old drops out and re-examines his life. He learns to cook and reads ferociously. He has a growing awareness but avoids doing anything about it (constantly avoiding his family, or just getting trashed in the local bistro)... One of the best scripts I've ever come across. I almost pulled my notebook out a few times, but I assumed I would be able to find the script or a subtitle file online. Oops. Intensely stimulating, even though I reach a different conclusion than the protagonist. I really, really hope Tanner's stuff gets a dvd release soon. |
| User ReviewMichael TAlain Tanner's philosophical study starts out slowly, but soon becomes incisive and engaging. |
