Synopsis
A group of laid-off factory women pool their severance to hire a hit man and kill their boss — that's the engine of Louise-Michel (2008), a French black comedy you can watch online on iFILM.
One morning the workers show up to find an empty shell: overnight the owners hauled off the machines and shut the plant down. The payout is insulting. Rather than open some little shop with the money, Louise suggests they buy a murder instead. The catch: the man they find, Michel (Bouli Lanners), is barely a killer at all, and the hunt for who really deserves the bullet sends everyone sideways. Yolande Moreau leads the cast.
Directors Gustave Kervern and Benoît Delépine traffic in scuzzy French absurdism — crude, deadpan, occasionally vicious. The humor is working-class and mean, not for everyone, but it looks nothing like a tidy mainstream comedy. Stream Louise-Michel (2008) online on iFILM.
