Margot Hill's Les Brown's Last Day incites instant memory of a more immediate, equally scary, more pedestrian past. In the US, the impact of 'down-sizing' has been conveniently masked by apparent boom or sensational bust; Hill's Les Brown trades the pranks of The Office for an excruciating retirement party. Her 'home-movie' office send-off gets Les's metamorphosis from panic to paralysis poignantly, palpably and painfully perfect.
