Christening

About This Movie

So, 'Christening' from 1981 is this quirky comedy that dives into the cutthroat world of a cartography firm. The main guy, Mr. Ciruvka, is a real piece of work, trying to throw a wrench in his colleague's plans by wooing his assistant. The humor often feels offbeat, like it’s dancing on that line between silly and a bit dark. Pacing's a bit uneven at times, but the performances carry a lot of the weight; you can feel the tension bubble up as Ciruvka's plans get more tangled. It has this unique vibe, not your everyday office comedy, and the practical effects, though sparse, are charmingly handled. Definitely a curious watch for those who dig the oddities of early '80s cinema.

Features unique take on office politics.The performances add a distinct flavor.A bit of a hidden gem in 80s comedies.
