Movie Haiku:Extremely effective French homage to Hitchcock, with a wonderful score modeled on VERTIGO. Carla’s a hearing impaired woman working as a secretary in a large construction firm. Dumpy Carla’s kept in “her place” in this extremely macho environment, until she hires a male assistant with a surprisingly complementary skill set.
