captures a super specific mundanity and gnawing daily despair that i can’t say i’ve seen portrayed like this in film before while also easily managing to be sharp as hell… life really is like that (working, and female friendships. ouch ouch ouch)

Iris tritt einen neuen Zeitarbeitsjob an und muß prompt zwei Stunden warten, bis sie an ihren Arbeitsplatz eingewiesen wird - ein kleines Kabuff in einem muffigen Großraumbüro. Zum Glück nimmt sie die Zeitarbeiterin Margaret unter ihre Fittiche. Die sieht alles lockerer, da sie ja ohnehin nie allzulange bleibt. Aufatmen können die wie Aussätzige behandelten Zeitarbeiterinnen nur am Klo oder in der Cafeteria, wo sie die hinterste Ecke belagern, ansonsten starren sie auf die Uhr und fiebern dem Feierabend entgegen.

a weirdly devastating movie......anyways, do you think parker posey would have sex with me or...
thirst-watching Parker Posey’s varied filmography occasionally unearths some hidden gems!! Clockwatchers captures how frustratingly soul-sucking menial office work is, specifically through the lens of women temps. i work at a bookstore for minimum wage and sometimes i feel like a nameless ghost haunting an unmarked grave, cursed to barely exist in purgatory. if i disappeared, who would care? in one scene, Toni Collette gazes wistfully at a fish tank, identifying with the trapped, aimless goldfish. later, she discovers that Parker Posey scratched “I WAS NEVER HERE” into her own desk, so she scratches out the “NEVER.” the significance of solidarity, tenacity, autonomy, and so much more is vacuum-packed into this small moment. ultimately, the work we are pressured to do to survive in this corporate late-capitalist hellscape may not really matter, but we do.
