The Problems of Work

About This Movie

So, 'The Problems of Work' dives into the realm of work through a Scientology lens, based on L. Ron Hubbard's book. The film is a peculiar exploration of how work dominates our lives—seven-tenths of it, to be exact. You get this somewhat clinical perspective, but it’s layered with personal anecdotes and insights, making it both intriguing and, at times, a bit unsettling. The pacing is methodical, almost like a lecture, which can feel a bit heavy but lends itself to a deeper understanding of the subject. It’s distinct, mainly because it’s not just presenting facts, but also trying to shift perceptions of work. The visuals are straightforward, almost utilitarian, which fits the theme well. The absence of a known director adds to its offbeat charm.
