  Serge (Fabrice Luchini In the House) is a retired great actor living as a recluse amid the windswept landscape of the Île de Ré. Gauthier (Lambert Wilson Of Gods and Men) a fellow actor currently enjoying a career high as a TV heart-throb visits Serge and tempts him to make a comeback with a production of Molière's play 'The Misanthrope'. Before agreeing Serge insists on seven days of rehearsal and the two soon find themselves at each other's throats. Warm and witty with intelligence in spades this likable French comedy about two arrogant yet affable middle-aged men is like a French version of The Trip.

  Philippe Le Guay's Night Shift (aka Trois Huit) shows that bullying doesn't just happen at school, it can affect people in the workplace. Pierre (Gerald Laroche) is the new guy on the night shift. He's a good-natured family man, with a seemingly idyllic life, reflected by the secluded beauty of his home. This is starkly countered by the bleak French industrial setting of the bottle factory where he works. From the very beginning, Pierre is picked on by Fred (Marc Barbe), a boorish amateur boxer, who seems threatened by Pierre's popularity among their fellow workmates. At first, Fred's acts are put down as jovial, though aggressive, behaviour. As these acts grow more violent, both mentally and physically, they begin to affect the way Pierre perceives and is perceived by his wife, Carole (Luce Mouchel) and their 12-year-old son, Victor (Bastien Le Roy). Their increasingly complex relationship makes for compelling watching. Pierre's son begins to see Fred as a stronger father figure, and it's this that forces the normally reserved Pierre to stand up to his bully. The cinematography really helps to frame the action. The characters are shot at close range, capturing both the camaraderie of the fellow workers; while the glowing, molten bottles moving around the factory capture the symbolism of the growing tension between Fred and Pierre. Yann Tiersen's original score, while commendable, does not have the powerful effect on Night Shift that his music for Amelie did. --Yusuf Moosajee On the DVD: Night Shift on DVD includes basic filmographies of the principal leads and the director.
