    Liar

    I found interesting this movie from Belgium. A young man, not retarded, but very dependant of his parents, loses his job but doesn't tell it to his family for whom he is a sort of idiot, a prick. So he fakes to have a job, although being unhappy about that. But when he sees his younger brother getting a gift from his boss, a car, our lead decides to impress his own folks by really getting a job which he and they would be proud of. The problem is that he fails for each job he asks for. From that point he begins to lie and lie and he gets glued to his life of lies, as if he was in a quicksand... Interesting this feature which reminded me Nicole Garcia's L'ADVERSAIRE in a lesser scale. Not great acting, but it was sufficiently convincing. It's a little shame that this little movie was not better known. It's Worth it.
