The Comedy of Work

La Comédie du travail, France, 1987

New digital restoration!

A professional layabout who scams unemployment to fund his mountain climbing hobby has his carefully arranged leisure disrupted by an amorous employment agent who lands him a job he doesn’t want at the expense of a diligent, laid-off banker who desperately needs it. This droll take on the drudgery of work and work required to avoid it was the 50-year-old Luc Moullet’s sixth feature which didn’t stop him from winning the Jean Vigo Prize at Cannes, an award traditionally given to young directors early in their careers.

DCP, b&w, in French with English subtitles, 88 min. Director: Luc Moullet. Screenwriter: Luc Moullet. With: Roland Blanche, Sabine Haudepin, Henri Déus.
