The Moon by Our Teeth

The film follows William thirtyish out of work and looking for a new life after apparently having been thrown out of his previous one He meets up with Noelle who seems intrigued by his restlessness until her economist boyfriend shows up Yet plot details do little to convey the power of the film which lay in its capturing the anarchic texture of Williams life a life whose lack of direction was read as a rebuke of the Swiss myth of orderliness and selfsatisfaction With his roots in documentary Soutter excelled at creating a loose vibrant cinema full of quick zooms and dynamic handheld shots with dialogue that often alternated between outright quotations and stylized interviews
