Office Space

“A hilarious knock-down of corporate culture” (Michael Sragow, The New Yorker), Office Space was the first film directed by cartoonist Mike Judge. “Mike Judge, the creator of Beavis & Butt-head and co-creator of King of the Hill, has a cool day job. But it wasn’t always thus. From his memories of Dilbert-like employment in anonymous corporate America, Judge has written and directed Office Space, a devious comedy about life in the cubicle. Peter Gibbons (Ron Livingston) is a cog in the wheel of Initech, where various nerds and nebbishes punch the clock while their lives just tick away. It’s a place where copiers shred your work in a never-ending state of “paper jam,” where there isn’t even a stapler you can call your own, and where the only thing to look forward to is Hawaiian-shirt Friday… With a judiciously executed hip-hop soundtrack and the same anti-conformist spirit that informs Judge’s TV cartoons, Office Space can expect to attract people who aren’t even old enough to be stuck in dead-end jobs” —Jami Bernard, New York Daily News.
Presented in association with Small Business Waterville. (1999, R, 90 min.)
