You know that one art critic you love to hate? The critic whose sole mission in life seems to be savaging the dreams of artists, curators and gallery owners everywhere? The critic who has learned, by heart, every possible snarky synonym for "bad" but couldn't spit out the word "good" even as flames licked at his stake-bound feet? The critic who we suspect hasn't enjoyed a 'romantic interlude' since 1992 and would, given the the opportunity, unapologetically slam his own mother's work hanging at the local district library? Yes. "Mr. Art Critic" is that heinous guy.
Mr. Nobody is a 2009 science fiction drama film written and directed by Jaco Van Dormael. An international co-production between Belgium, France, Germany, and Canada, it marks Van Dormael's first English-language feature. The film stars Jared Leto as Nemo Nobody, the last mortal on Earth after humanity has achieved quasi-immortality. As a 118-year-old man reflecting on his life, Nemo recounts alternate versions of his past, exploring the impact of key decisions through a nonlinear narrative that incorporates the multiverse hypothesis. The ensemble cast also includes Sarah Polley, Diane Kruger, Linh Dan Pham, Rhys Ifans, Natasha Little, Toby Regbo, and Juno Temple.
