'The Good Boss' (M)

Picture

WEDNESDAY 26th OCTOBER 6pm and 8-15pm

'The Good Boss' Spain (119mins) Comedy/Drama. New Release from Limelight.
Led by Javier Bardem's charismatic performance and writer-director Fernando León de Aranoa's sharp humour, The Good Boss is a workplace satire worthy of promotion.
Básculas Blanco, a Spanish company producing industrial scales in a provincial Spanish town, awaits the imminent visit from a committee which holds its fate in their hands as to whether they merit a local Business Excellence award. Everything has to be perfect when the time comes. Working against the clock, the company's proprietor, Blanco (Javier Bardem) pulls out all the stops to address and resolve issues with his employees, crossing every imaginable line in the process.
"A pitch-black, workplace comedy fueled by Javier Bardem’s seductively slimy portrayal of a baron whose industrial-scale factory is decidedly out of balance." Variety Review.
"Whether or not Blanco is able to save his factory, Bardem is able to navigate the narrative missteps surrounding him and ultimately make The Good Boss worth a look." R.D.
Showing at 6pm and 8-15pm.
Tickets: $15 and $12 from eventfinda.co.nz and on door.
