Le Couperet {The Axe} – Costa Gavras


Costa Gavras deals with the corporate gluttony and the consequences of scaling down manpower in his 2005 movie, Le Couperet {The Axe}. The corporate world and the CEOs don’t care about the effect as far as self esteem and sanity of a man is concerned. Exclusive profits without caring for human beings where man is reduced to nothing but a money making machine and is identified only with his job has become the socio-economic situation in today’s world.


Chronic unemployment does not leave you with much means of survival and what with the corporate world pushing up production and aggravating the use of merchandising to coerce consumption, leaving a man crazy, stressed out and depressed - reducing him to an entity where he is “what he can earn” - to obtain what?

You are termed as ‘smart’, if you can adjust to this overwhelmingly sick society.
