rolific Quebecois filmmaker, Denis Côté, explores the world of work in Joy of Man's Desiring (Que ta joie demeure), a poetical and hybrid study of industrial life, factories and the meaning of labour. The film begins with a woman talking over her shoulder, seemingly making an amourous pact with someone. In fact, it becomes apparent she is an embodiment of the workplace itself, and the potential lover is every worker. This enigmatic film offers a stimulating poetic montage of ideas about labour, leisure and humanity's higher satisfactions and aspirations.
