Nothing Personal (Rien De Personnel)
Click here to read the review!
Much like Altman’s Gosford Park, the interesting component of this exercise is to witness firsthand how gossip spreads like wildfire, once it is out of control the foreground is filled with victims. Unfortunately, Gokalp is working with a well-mannered chaos here and the characters aren’t unhinged or strung out enough to make each repeated viewing all the more alluring. Thankfully, Nothing Personal contains a guessing game of sorts – figuring out the true puppet-master of the evening ends up being the only fun. It’s a moderately amusing film for adult audiences but not incendiary enough about the company downsizing theme it entertains.
