"The Efficiency Expert"
1991
Directed by Mark Joffe

Originally titled Spottiswoode, this Australian film is reminiscent of Bill Forsyth's comedies about cultural and social dislocation. Anthony Hopkins, a demanding efficiency expert, is enlisted to rescue a struggling, family-operated footwear factory, run by a collection of oddballs and eccentrics. With Ben Mendelsohn, Alwyn Kurts and Bruno Lawrence.  97 minutes.
