Technology changed a bit in the ten years since this movie was made, but the topic not so much. This documentary takes the question of what is work, and why should we do it into an extended work of interviews and clips from the french bosses union MEDEF convergence. What it really is is the clash in between the neoliberal ideology being forced upon us, and uphelf as hum*n emancipation through consummerism by the liberals, against the philosophy of the free time. I have to say that I've never worked in a fastfood chain restaurant, and was really impressed at the brainwashing and normative process applied to the body that goes along with the uniform : having the proper haircut matching your gender expectations (2cm above your eyebrows at least, and no hair on the neck) which was way beyond by expectations. I feel like finding a not-too-patched-up flannel shirt is already hard enough to comply with, but such conformity, to watch and not even live, was already making me angry. Maybe it's because I'm already convinced at what the interviewees advocating for free time were saying, and I would certainly advocate for this too. In all of the cliché, I'm always happy to hear folks speaking with southern french accents.
