Seum @ Gus' Pub

9 to 5 (1980)

by Carbon Arc Cinema

9 to 5 tells the story of 3 put-upon office workers: Judy (Jane Fonda), Violet (Lily Tomlin) and Doralee (Dolly Parton). They work at Consolidated Companies, under the sexist, authoritarian thumb of “egotistical, lying, bigot”, Mr Hinkle. After a marijuana-filled night of revenge fantasies, they form a plot to get even in real life. For a star-studded Hollywood comedy, 9 to 5 has some surprising roots in reality. The film is based on an idea by Fonda who was inspired by her friend Karen Nussbaum, co-founder of 9to5: The Organization of Women Office Workers. Nussbaum arranged for Fonda, screenwriter Patricia Reskin and director Colin Higgins to meet with forty women office workers to learn first-hand about the problems they faced on the job, plus the ways they dreamed of getting back their bosses. Many of these women’s stories of day to day humiliations (and fantasies of payback) show up in this screwball comedy informed by a sharp view of women’s real experiences . “What an absolute delight of working class rage.” – Sarah Reine – Egregious “Dolly Parton on the screen simply seems to be having a great time, ready to sweep everyone else up in her enthusiasm, her concern, her energy.”

La Vallée des Fous (2024)

by Carbon Arc Cinema

Passionate about sailing and little else, widower Jean-Paul is going through a rough patch. Up to his ears in debt, and struggling with a drinking problem, he pulls away from his family and signs up for the Virtual Regatta, the online version of the Vendée Globe boat race. To enhance the impression of being a “real” skipper, Jean-Paul holes up for 3 months on his boat… in his garden. His imaginary, yet very real voyage will allow him to reconnect with his family and with himself. Director Xavier Beauvois (Of Gods and Men, Don’t Forget You’re Going to Die) brings simplicity and poignancy to this story of a man trying to take his life back into his own hands. Passionné de voile et de presque rien d’autre, Jean-Paul, veuf, traverse une période difficile. Endetté jusqu’au cou et aux prises avec un problème d’alcool, il s’éloigne de sa famille et s’inscrit à la Régate Virtuelle, la version en ligne du Vendée Globe. Pour se sentir plus à l’aise dans la peau d’un « vrai » capitaine, Jean-Paul s’isole pendant trois mois sur son bateau… dans son jardin. Ce voyage imaginaire, et pourtant bien réel, lui permettra de renouer avec sa famille et avec lui-même. Le réalisateur Xavier Beauvois (Des
