Bint Werdan (J'ai le Cafard) is this quirky little gem that blends comedy and drama in a rather offbeat way. The film's protagonist is a woman grappling with her own depression, which makes her interactions with her overly cheerful colleagues both awkward and relatable. The pacing feels intentional, almost reflective of her inner turmoil, while the absurdity of her friendship with a dying cockroach in the office toilet adds a layer of dark humor. It's a strange choice of companion, but it works to highlight the themes of loneliness and connection—or lack thereof. The performances are genuine, raw even, and there's a certain charm in its practical effects that adds to the overall atmosphere. Definitely one of those films that sticks with you for its oddities.
