Time Out Movie Review 2001

Vincent (Recoing) can't admit to his family and friends that he's lost his job so he fabricates a new position working for the U.N. in Switzerland and takes to the road, driving aimlessly in his car. He uses an investment scam in order to pay his bills and then tries working for a trafficker in bogus designer goods, all the while sinking deeper into his life of lies. Very loosely based on a true story. French with subtitles.
