Family Planning Clinic = stressful job

Day 2 of French film festival at Shangri-la Mall.
Movie watched:  Les Bureaux de Dieu (God's Offices)

It was a good movie. It basically showed interviews between the clinic staff and the patients they get, as well as some of a clinic's day to day operations. The film states that the stories were based on selected anecdotes from real cases encountered in family planning/contraceptive clinics in France from the year 2000 to 2007.

It really isn't the type of movie for those who are looking for heavy drama or laughs but there are some funny moments. There were a number of people who left the theater so it may have either offended their sensibilities, or they found it boring. I'd recommend the film for those people, particularly women, who may want to have a glimpse of how these clinics work, and who may be interested in the types of questions received.

Day 3, and the first film for tomorrow will be in around 12 hours as of this posting.

By the way, the grandma who was first in line to go in the theater rawks.
