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

Get the full story at: http://pursuitist.com Angela Ismailos' GREAT DIRECTORS, is a celebration of films and filmmaking starring ten of the worlds most acclaimed, provocative, and individualistic living directors. The documentary, which had its world premiere at the 2009 Venice Film Festival, is a deeply personal and intimate look at the art of cinema and the artists who create it, and features original, in—depth conversations with world—class filmmakers Bernardo Bertolucci, David Lynch, Stephen Frears, Agnes Varda, Ken Loach, Liliana Cavani, Todd Haynes, Catherine Breillat, Richard Linklater and John Sayles. These interviews more than just chronicle Ismailos' encounters with ten remarkable men and women. Extensively illuminated by clips and historical archives from the subjects' works, they also reveal the distinctive personalities who created the timeless images that have long inspired Ismailos—and all of us. Intercutting among the filmmakers in a freely associative way, Ismailos explores each director's artistic evolution; the role of politics and history on their work; their feelings about the other great directors who inspired them (with Bertolucci paying homage to Pasolini, Breillat to Bergman, and Haynes to Fassbinder, etc.); and the agony and ecstasy of being an artist in a medium that is, paradoxically, also an industry.
