The three films I have watched from this year’s Cinequest all feature characters grappling with different life periods. In Swiss entry Another Man, Francois deals with a quarter-life crisis: he’s trying to find his voice as a film critic, but is constrained by his small-town surroundings and lack of actual experience. In Euforia , from Mexico, Pat is obsessed with the accomplishments of his youth and is hopeless in his middle age. In The Caller, Frank is an older man, accepting of his fate, trying to understand the course of his life.
Frank Langella plays a corporate whistleblower in The Caller.
