Full Time - Non Stop Transit Bad Dream
This is quality movie making, highlighting the hand-to-mouth existence of a single working mum - struggling to keep the wolf from the door while commuting to and from Paris during a crippling transport strike. For his second feature, writer/director Eric Gravel makes sure not a moment is wasted on unnecessary story details - this is solid storytelling capturing the exhausting, everyday battles so many modern parents and workers are forced to face in cities all over the world - while also being a strong comment on social and personal mores. Not to mention the madness of strike action to 'improve' our lives.
Laure Calamy's striking performance certainly earns the well-deserved praise for her award-winning performance as the 5 star chambermaid trapped in hideous robot like working conditions. While not all the ideas may come off perfectly, its good stuff, with a Tangerine Dream like sound scape to keep it moving. Recommended as above-average quality, for discerning viewers.
