“The Employment”
A man wakes up and starts his day as usual. Only this isn’t our usual world. Scattered throughout his house, the street, and elsewhere we find people performing menial tasks as if they’re living furniture. People pose as coat racks, hold bathroom mirrors, and give piggy-back rides down the streets. Finally, the man makes his way to the top floor suite of an office building where he… well, I shouldn’t spoil it for you.
I admit I scratched my head for a bit after watching The Employment for the first time. Certainly the film resonates especially strong in the current economic climate. With 9% unemployment and many more settling for menial jobs to pay the bills it’s easy to feel like nothing more than a coat rack at times.
