Der alte Traum lässt uns nicht los (2001)

Der alte Traum lässt uns nicht los: Directed by Alain Guiraudie. With Pierre Louis-Calixte, Jean-Marie Combelles, Jean Ségani, Yves Dinse. A chronicle of the last days of a factory that is about to shut down. Among the workers forced to idle away until the end of the week, Jacques, a young technician is busy dismantling a machine while, without noticing it, turning on some of the men around him!

“Well, thatu0026#39;s to put it crudely of this film set in a dilapidated factory in some part of rural France with an all-male cast…u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTo tell it more is to ruin the delightful surprises of the film… What I find it most interesting is the gradual shift from the theme of male-bonding to, well, male-understanding. And at 50 or so minutes, that makes the film all the more succinct and satisfying.”
