"Приставание (харассмент, англ. Harassment) — поведение человека, причиняющее неудобство или даже вред другому человеку, нарушающее неприкосновенность его частной жизни."

((Вообще-то, моя тема - обнаженка в кино.
В данном случае - дева в тулупе.

Что ее, увы, не красит.
Длинно, медленно и скучно пытаются рассказать про работку, которую не любят.
И не понятно, почему за нее держатся.
Наверное, на кассе в супермаркете еще хуже.
А мордочка у героини вполне забавная.))

"The Assistant" is a 2019 American drama film written, directed, produced, and edited by

"Я лояльно вообще отношусь к людям, рассказавшим в рамках движения #metoo о домогательствах в свой адрес. И вроде бы эта история глазами сторонней наблюдательницы, подходит под описание харрасмента - все слагаемые на месте: прием на работу не за рабочие навыки, встреча с соискательницей вакансии в номере отеля... А вроде бы и не подходит - неожиданная, неадекватная обеспокоенность героини чужой нравственностью, методы борьбы с чужой безнравственностью выглядят на порядок более неуместными, неадекватными. И порождают лично у меня вопрос, - фильм вообще задумывался как анти-metoo, или в поддержку metoo, просто так срежиссировано... кхм-кхм... что долгие крупные планы озадаченной глав. героини, обескураженной глав. героини, в непонимании, глав. героини в ступоре начинают вызывать раздражение. Наверное, от попытки выдать чью-то вялость ума, низкую адаптивность, плохие коммуникативные свойства, внутреннюю неудовлетворенность от однотипных безынтересных будней за высокие моральные ценности.

Серая картинка, тягостный сюжет, не ведущий никуда... Очень не интересно, в общем.

The film takes place over the course of a single day in the life of Jane, a junior assistant who has been working at a film production company in New York City for five weeks. Jane arrives well before dawn and performs various menial administrative tasks. Her job's long hours and demanding tasks keep her busy and incredibly stressed. During a phone call with her mother, Jane learns that she forgot to call her father on his birthday.

As Jane's day progresses, it becomes clear that her boss has been having sex in his office with many younger women and facilitating a culture of sexual harassment at the company. Many of the male executives make snide comments about the boss's affairs while the female executives handle their own workloads and discuss the possibility of transferring to other departments. Whenever Jane does something her boss deems a mistake, he verbally abuses her over the phone as her two male junior assistant coworkers watch silently. Throughout the day, a variety of people from the boss's life interact with Jane, including his wife, his children's nanny, a famous actor, and a group of Chinese film producers.

In the afternoon, a young, inexperienced woman named Sienna arrives from Idaho, saying she has been offered a job as a junior assistant. Jane, concerned for Sienna's well-being, goes to the human resources department to file a report after dropping Sienna off at a five-star hotel being paid for by the company. Wilcock, the head of HR, encourages Jane to share her concerns, but later makes it clear that he is turning a blind eye to her harassment claims, before demeaning her, speaking down to her, and stating she is jealous. He also discloses that filing a formal complaint would destroy Jane's career. As Jane leaves his office, he reminds her that she has nothing to worry about, as Jane is not the boss's "type". Visibly upset, Jane receives a call from her boss when she returns to her desk. He has been informed about the unfiled report and demands Jane write an email apology addressed to him, which she does. He replies saying that he is especially hard on Jane because he knows how great she is.

Toward the end of the day, Sienna arrives at the office so Jane can teach her how to use the phone systems. As night falls, Jane prepares a microwave dinner for herself while other employees leave; her boss stays late in his office with a young actress. He calls Jane on the intercom and tells her to go home. Jane goes to a coffee shop across the street and calls her father as she eats a muffin. After she hangs up, she sees a silhouette in her boss's window appearing to have sex.
