简介：《衡量一个人》片名取自柏拉图名言：「衡量一个人，端看他拥有权力时的所做所为」（The measure of a man is what he does with power）。剧情描述一个中年失业父亲、奋力寻找工作的故事，他在经历各种羞辱人的面试和受训课程后，最后找到了令他讨厌的超市警卫的工作，却拥有监视顾客与同侪的无上权力。但他被迫必须揪出在超市行窃的小贼，而这些人却都是跟他一样同属生活无继的人…。这是文森林顿与导演史蒂芬布塞的第三度合作，片中除了文森林顿外，其他演员清一色均为素人，也使电影展现出不同于以往的戏剧力道，被誉为史蒂芬布塞迄今的最佳作品。
简介：Since 1977, Sam Klemke has been recording himself on film, the #selfieavantlalettre. In that same year, NASA launched the Voyager with the Golden Record. Whereas NASA primarily sketches a positive picture of humanity, Klemke's honest self portraits zoom in on the individual. A special film about time, memory and what it means to be human.‘This year will be my year, it has to be!’ Since 1977, Sam Klemke - a pioneer status updater - has looked back on ‘his year’ using video. With the illusion of progress, he hopes to encourage ‘personal growth and improvement’.Documentary maker Matthew Bate met Klemke on Facebook and became acquainted with his video 35 Years Back Through Time, a super-cut in which Klemke counts backwards from 2011 to his ambitious teenage self. Intrigued by this obsessive film project, Bate used Klemke's personal archive to create a documentary collage that feels like an intimate road trip, with Klemke providing valuable lessons about time. Along the way, he dismantles the dream of success and happiness. Klemke's self-mockery and honesty give the whole thing a light, breezy feel.Through this, Bate interweaves NASA’s Golden Record Project which, just like Klemke’s video project, was launched in 1977. This juxtaposition creates a reflection in which Bate sketches the comprehension of time and self-documenting stories as an inherent human need.
