The Comedy of Work (New Restoration)
Advertisement
Actually a comedy of unemployment, which is defined as possibly the worst, or maybe the best, thing that ever happened to this film's group of protagonists: a middle-aged loan officer, his successful wife, a champion of professional joblessness (and mountain-climbing enthusiast), and the employment agency professional who falls passionately in love with him. This film's honest work involves potatoes, ditch-diggers, a wheelbarrow, doomed love, jam in bed, and gunfire involving dueling employment agencies. -UCLA (Luc Moullet, France, 1987, 90 min.) In French with English subtitles
