Work Hard – Play Hard
Carmen Losmann (Director)
Germany 2011
90 min.

Cool staged documentary about the modern working world, in which the boundaries between lifestyle and work vanish rapidly. A disturbing trend that is aimed at the optimal utilisation of the ‘resource’ human.

As the Academy Awards nominations are in, I want to refer to Michael Haneke’s ‘Amour’, which I already presented on this blog.
