Film

Ciné Club: Louise-Michel

27 September

A film for anyone who has ever been given the boot, Louise-Michel (2008) sees film-makers Gustave de Kervern and Benoît Delépine building a delightfully uncouth comedy around the closure of a small French toy factory. Named after a female French anarchist, the film sees illiterate male-to-female transsexual Louise (Yolande Moreau) convincing her redundant workmates to pool their severance pay and employ a hit man to whack the miserly boss. Enter Michel (Bouli Lanners), a dim-witted female-to-male transsexual with a vast collection of bespoke pistols, but no backbone: He takes down his targets by convincing terminal patients they should go out with a bang. 1 hour, 35 minutes, with English subtitles.
