The Invitation
The Invitation
A fairly innocuous film about an office worker who invites his fellow workers to his mansion for an afternoon party to celebrate his new inheritance. The camera placidly watches the behaviour of the guests gradually degenerate as jealousy, frustration and hypocrisy take over amid their host's kind hearted and naive attempts to quell the bad feeling. Most of the humour is provided by the very superior butler hired specially for the occasion. Director: Claude Goretta.
