Louise-Michel. 2008. France. Directed by Gustave de Kervern & Benoît Delépine

The day after a group of women industrial workers are assured of their companys stability, they are blindsided by managements relocation of the factory. Everythings gone, including management, and they are left with a pittance in severance pay. As they console one another, their very odd and illiterate colleague Louise (Yolande Moreau) suggests they pool their tiny resources and hire a hit man, the even odder Michel (Bouli Lanners), to take care of business. Part cinema of the absurd, part politically incorrect farce, filmmakers Benoit Delépine and Gustave de Kerverns comedy creates a bizarre social satire as the two misfits try to find the bosses and a way to do away with them. Darkly twisted, Louise-Michel hits all the right and wrong buttons in digging through to lifes perverse core. 90 min
