A factory worker tries to find his place in a society shaped by machinery and insecurity.
What to watch for
The body’s rhythm clashes with the factory’s. Notice how a visual gag becomes an idea about work. A useful introduction to physical comedy; the film’s age is not an age rating.
After viewing: a question to discuss
Does a useful work gesture become comic elsewhere? Describe the transformation.
