Paris
IT'S the year's least likely feel-good hit film in which the little guys take on France's richest man and end up laughing all the way to the bank.
A documentary about an unemployed middle-aged couple in one of France's poorest towns so desperately in debt that they were on the point of burning their home has been playing to packed cinemas, with audiences cheering in the aisles. Merci Patron! (Thanks boss!) has become a rallying cry for thousands of French workers who lost their jobs - or fear losing them - to cheaper foreign labour.
