Human Traffic

Comédie sociale légèrement provocatrice et très juste sur les jeunes londoniens dépravés. Plutôt qu'une intrigue ou un grand message, il s'agit de capturer de la manière la plus authentique possible les états en déliquescence, les attitudes de vie et les obsessions modernes d'un jeune. Quelque chose comme Trainspotting, mais moins artistique et sérieux. Plutôt délirant et déchaîné. (03/01/2003)

Provocative statement with amazing ideas (anthem), embellished dialogues (Star Wars), and unfortunately a little bit contrived ending. Nevertheless, it leaves an extra pleasant and free-thinking impression. (26/01/2006)

At one point, Trainspotting literally emotionally nailed me to the ground and set the bar for films from the non-conformist environment and the drug scene very high. Human Traffic didn't impress me practically at all. If this is supposed to be a probe into the lives of young people today, then it has a broken drill bit and skates on the surface. I understand the popularity of this because it's such a relaxed film that doesn't force you to think, doesn't provoke, but at the same time, it's somewhat rebellious, though in a harmless way, like rural dance parties in the 80s. I don't belong to this subculture and to be honest, I find it rather annoying. The script, direction, and acting performances are, at best, average if a person doesn't feel any connection with the group of drug users. In the end, just follow the career of the individual protagonists with the director in the lead. Overall impression: 40%. (07/07/2010)

A fairly well-captured depiction of how people behave, how they perceive their work, and how weekends are a great relief for them, essentially a temporary dose that helps them escape from routine. They look forward to them, experience them fully, and don't worry about the consequences. And then they fall back into a routine. Actually, it's kind of sad. (07/04/2017)
