Un Air de Famille


Another good French movie about family relationships. I find
the reviews extremely irritating that dwell on its comic aspects.
In homage to Shakespeare, the comedy makes the tragedy bearable.
A moving drama with sweetness and humor.

Ressources Humaines




I saw an intensely good movie over the weekend called
Ressources Humaines
about a father and son working at a factory in France. The son
is about to graduate from business school, and is doing an internship
for the administration in a plant where his father works as a laborer.
There is a clash between the administration and the union, and the
result is a real and moving clash between generations and ideals.

recent conversation

F: I'm very busy writing my thesis.
S: Wow, you're writing already?
F: I'm writing in the sense that I'm feeling worse and worse for not starting.
