Up in the Air

2009/ US
Dir. Jason Reitman.
Cast: George Clooney, Vera Farmiga, Anna Kendrick

From Jason Reitman, the Oscar-nominated director of Juno, comes Up in the Air, the timely odyssey of Ryan Bingham (George Clooney), a coporate downsizer and modern business traveller who, after years of staying happily airborne, suddenly finds himself ready to make a real connection.

Ryan has long been contented with his unencumbered lifestyle lived out across America in airports, hotels and rental card. He can carry all he needs in a one wheel-away case; he’s a pampered, elite member of every travel loyality programme in existence, and he’s close to attaining his lifetime goal of 10 million frequent flier miles- and yet… Ryan has nothing real to hold onto – until he meets a fellow passenger (Vera Farmiga) and begins to contemplate what it might actually mean to have a home.
