Blue Collar

...en tämligen opersonlig film utan större jävlaranamma.

Paul Schrader, the writer of Taxi Driver, turns a creatively jaundiced eye over life on the production line in his directorial debut.

“Blue Collar” is about life on the Detroit assembly lines, and about how it wears men down and chains them to a lifetime installment plan. It is an angry, radical movie about the vise that traps workers between big industry and big labor.

A key film for an era of diminishing expectations, BLUE COLLAR depicts big business and big labor as collaborators, expertly manipulating class resentment and racial tension so as to keep the work force divided.
