Louise-Michel (Gustave de Kervern & Benoît Delépine, 2008)

The aggrieved female workers of a northern French factory, upon learning of the derisory pay-off they're offered on their mass redundancy, decide that the best use for their funds is simply to knock off the boss responsible for their dismissal. The most socially dysfunctional of their number plucks a hitman from a trailer park for the job, who soon proves to be spectacularly inept. With predictable comic results.
Delépine and de Kervern's film isn't interested in commenting a great deal on social issues, so it can't be filed as satire. Neither does it attempt to wring pathos out of the lot of its hapless protagonists, so the sword by which it lives or dies is that of black comedy. This it occasionally manages for a chortle, but you never get the feeling it's going anywhere in particular, just happy to pootle along amiably, throwing more quirky characters and incidents at the screen on the off-chance some of them might stick.
