Ontdek

In 9 to 5 (1980), director Colin Higgins gives a satirical twist to American office life. Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Dolly Parton play three colleagues trying to survive in a world of sexism, abuse of power, and endless working hours. Their response: a fantasy of liberation that gradually spirals out of control.
 
The film became a huge hit, not least thanks to Dolly Parton, who made her unforgettable film debut in 9 to 5 and wrote its iconic title song. Her passing last week, on 25 August, lends this screening an unexpected sense of melancholy. But above all, 9 to 5 remains a film bursting with energy, humour, and rage. A comedy about work, and about what happens when those who are always expected to smile finally start talking back.

Omschrijving

Stuck in a dead-end job, working under a boss she actually trained herself, Violet Newstead (Lily Tomlin) is at the end of her rope. But when her boss’s kind-hearted secretary (Dolly Parton) and a new colleague (Jane Fonda) also decide they’ve had enough, their revenge fantasy turns into hilarious reality—with a plan that quickly spirals completely out of control!
