Fear And Trembling (2003) - DVD  E-mail this product to a friend

A dream job rapidly becomes a nightmare for Am‚lie, a Japanese-born Belgian woman, who suffers a series of increasingly humiliating demotions after she lands a job as an interpreter at a large Japanese corporation. Sylvie Testud earned the French equivalent of the Academy Awardr for her haunting performance as the put-upon, but indomitable Am‚lie. Director Alain Corneau's (Tous les matins du monde) perversely funny adaptation of Am‚lie Nothomb's 1999 autobiographical novel loses nothing in translation in deftly dissecting the universal absurdities of corporate culture.
