\"\" The film The Human Resources Manager<\/em><\/a> directed by Eran Riklis is a about an actual\u00a0human resource manager of a large bread factory in Jerusalem that is being accused of inhumanity and indifference\u00a0by the media after the death of a migrant employee\u00a0who lost her life during a suicide bombing and yet was still on payroll. The human resource manager played by Mark Ivanir is sent to the Mortuary to identify the unclaimed body even though he himself had never met this worker, and did not even authorize her hiring or termination prior to her death.<\/p>\n

This film is very much similar and can easily be compared to the film “Little Miss Sunshine” in the sense that just like in Little Miss Sunshine the characters and the overall\u00a0plot of this film embark on a journey to do the right and honorable thing. Now in this particular film the Main character takes it uppon himself to deliver the dead woman’s\u00a0 body across the country along with her son in a 1950’s van\u00a0to her\u00a0 remote hometown village where he at first feels she should be buried. Along the way they encounter numerous distractions and problems which makes him question if he should continue on this journey. But of course decides to continue and eventually\u00a0arrive at this remote village where in the twisted end it’s decided that it is best that the young woman be buried back in Jerusalem, being that that is where the young woman was most happy.<\/p>\n

The film was as\u00a0I previously\u00a0mentioned to similar to the\u00a0film Little Miss Sunshine which was somewhat of a distraction after realizing the similarity of the story. But overall The Human Resource Manager is\u00a0a\u00a0good film to watch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
