NOT RATED
Anyone who has ever experienced a corporate staff retreat will appreciate the rich black humor of this clever cross between “The Office” and a Mike Leigh comedy. Only one week into his new job, Ruy, an uncertain 20-something engaged to the boss’s daughter, participates in a weekend retreat that could prove life-changing. With an expert cast that includes veteran Spanish actor Juan Diego as the manipulative boss, CASUAL DAY brings out the subtle treacheries of office politics in the unlikeliest of settings—the idyllic country-side.(note courtesy 2008 Miami Film Festival)
