amily man Bruno has been laid off from his job with a paper company after 15 years faithful service, a victim of profit-motivated ‘efficiency' cuts. Watching a promo video for another company, he's convinced he could do a much better job than the boss, if only there was a vacancy. Still unemployed after two years, as money gets tighter and his patriarchal pride takes a battering, Bruno decides to act. In his determination to regain his rightful place in the paper manufacturing industry, he realises that should an appropriate job become available he'd have a far better chance if he could eliminate the other leading candidates. Literally.
Directed by Costa Gavras (Amen), Jose Garcia displays flawless comic timing in his nuanced performance as Bruno, a man driven to desperate acts by heartless social circumstances.
般奴是一個(gè)愛(ài)家的男人，他在一家造紙公司忠心地服務(wù)了十五年，卻因?yàn)楣巨D(zhuǎn)營(yíng)而成為一切講求經(jīng)濟(jì)效益下的犧牲者。有日，當(dāng)他看到另一家公司的宣傳短片後，自信地覺(jué)得只要有機(jī)會(huì)，自己比那公司的負(fù)責(zé)人更勝任。失業(yè)兩年仍找不到工作，經(jīng)濟(jì)開(kāi)始拮據(jù)，感到一家之主的尊嚴(yán)受損，般奴決定是時(shí)候採(cǎi)取行動(dòng)。他決心要在造紙業(yè)取回自己應(yīng)有的地位。他認(rèn)為，若有適合的職位空缺出現(xiàn)時(shí)，只要他能除去其他有實(shí)力的應(yīng)徵者，實(shí)實(shí)在在的除去，那麼他的機(jī)會(huì)會(huì)更大。
在導(dǎo)演哥士達(dá)．加夫卡的指導(dǎo)下，祖斯．加西亞把般奴這個(gè)被無(wú)情的商業(yè)社會(huì)迫至挺而走險(xiǎn)的人之心路歷程演繹得淋漓盡致。
