A comedy about the boss's workers knitting and the money being bounced. “The Long Weekend” is one of the first works of director Hans Herbots, who nine years later will shoot an almost exemplary “Healing”, a kind of mixture of Scandinavian and Korean noirs. The same goes for hostages taken at home.
In fact, because of this thriller, I wanted to see something else from his filmography. So...
Two former workers hold their boss hostage in his own luxury villa. It is required that the employee pay compensation to all employees in connection with the closure of the enterprise. When suddenly there is a mistress boss and part-time daughter of one of the Kidneppers (many will be pleased to see in this role a young Verle Batens). Things are slowly getting out of control. . .
Zamez, almost in the spirit of Yuri Bykov, is made to music and in the atmosphere of cheap Russian cinematography.
And let this exercise is witty and better than a lot of domestic nonsense, the result is the same - I looked and forgot.
The key word is 'watched'.
