It's a film that is really quite outrageous. Some parts don't bear repeating here. It is about how we exist within our own personal bubbles and communication between us is partial at best. There is one moment where Joy is trying to track down the bloke who has suicided when she turned him down. She goes to his workplace, a big office and gives a description. They go through various descriptions and mistakes of identity. Noone knows for sure. 'Maybe you could ask over there'. In the background someone actually says (softly) 'something something something'. I suppose it's a black comedy about relationships. Not everyone likes it. I think it won a prize at Cannes when it came out.
