In the Aisles

In the Aisles is a German film with English subtitles that was a bit of a random pick to go to.  It is the story of Christian who starts a new job training to work in the supermarket in the drinks aisles supervised by the serious Bruno.  It is a quiet movie, showing the repetition of the job, of showing up each day and restocking the shelves, taking breaks and clocking out.  I was impressed that as they clocked out each day, their boss stood there and shook the workers hands and thanked them for their work - wow wouldn't that be nice if all bosses did that?

It is a story that most of us understand - the ebb and flow of working, learning to get along with colleagues and the frustration of trying to learn new techniques and master new skills.  3/5
