Alain E @AlainE May 6 An interesting road movie with a corpse in a casket. When an immigrant worker dies in Israel due to Arab terrorism, the HR manager of the corporation she was working for decides to deliver her body to her family back home in order to avoid bad publicity. It is easier said than done. He has to travel to rural Romania by various means and eventually realize that the trip was unnecessary. The section involving a decommissioned military vehicle is a little over the top, but overall the movie is worth being seen. On Tubi.

The HR manager is assigned by the owner to write a reply, and he finds that the woman was fired three weeks ago, but the supervisor did not report to HR since he had a crush on the woman and kept her in the payroll. HR becomes the scapegoat from the owner and is ordered to arrange her funeral in Romania, and he travels to the country.. "The Human Resources Manager" (2010) is a tragic black comedy with an acid story criticizing sensationalist tabloids, where scum reporters write news independent of the truth or damage may cause. Then the look for scape goats from companies. The travel criticizes the bureaucracy of Romania. But the film is original and entertaining. My vote is seven.

See more 12/17/2016 The Human Resources Manager of Israel's largest industrial bakery has to travel to Romania when an employee of theirs is killed in a terrorist attack, creating a public relations nightmare when the company does not notice her absence for a week. He brings her body to her home town to bring it to her family and make amends. Facing a series of setbacks, he gradually snaps out of his own depression. A lightly comic human drama that's largely fine without ever elevating itself to anything special.

See more 12/21/2013 An Israeli drama with satirical undertones, THE HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGER is an allegorical exploration of one uncompromising man's attempt at embracing humanity through a series of events that sends him off to an unnamed Eastern Bloc country, but really Romania, to appease the family of a foreign worker killed by a suicide bomber. THRM observantly combines comedy and pathos to achieve its somewhat successful final results. Director Riklis who specializes in probing studies of contrasting cultures at odds mostly built around borders (LEMON TREE & THE SYRIAN BRIDE) here raises the bar by taking his central character on a reluctantly self-fulfilling mission to a foreign land.
