Intermezzo

About This Movie

Intermezzo (2008) taps into the absurdity of social gatherings, delivering a quirky comedy that thrives on discomfort. The film's pacing is somewhat erratic, mirroring the chaotic energy of an event that spirals out of control. The central character, Nicanor O'Donnell, becomes an unwitting focal point for intrigue as delegates chase after him, hoping to unearth the reason behind his dissenting vote. The atmosphere is a mix of light-hearted humor and a pinch of existential dread, poking fun at the arbitrary nature of consensus. It’s the kind of film that embraces awkward pauses and understated performances, leaving you to ponder the absurdity of social norms long after the credits roll.
