The Method

(EL MÉTODO, Marcelo Piñeyro, Spain 2005, 115 min., Spanish with subtitles, 35mm)

Several candidates for a high-level multinational position in Madrid are put through a nasty final selection process that utilizes a mysterious human resources strategy from the US known as the Grönholm Method. The applicants soon find themselves in a contest that elicits fear, suspicion, paranoia, and betrayal. This suspenseful and witty cinematic adaptation of a successful play by Spanish writer Jordi Galcerán Ferrer exposes the dark side of corporate life. Preceded by an unusual job INTERVIEW (Charles Burmeister, US 2007, 9 min., Digital Projection).
