Mondays in the Sun

Spain Javier Bardem

A group of shipyard workers get laid off when the yard closes. We follow their lives two years later. They are broken, left behind and spend their days, and nights, drinking at a bar one of them has opened with his severance.

Slow-paced, suffused with ennui and despair...this isn't a feel-good winner. But it is a sympathetic portrayal of the detritus tossed overboard by global capitalism.

Worth it for the social sensibility.
