9 to 5
Colin Higgins / US, 1980 / 110 min.
Dolly Parton shines alongside Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin in this satire on the exploitation of female office workers by their sexist boss. The three women stand up and get even, transforming the workplace into a female-friendly environment. In memoriam Dolly Parton (1946-2026).
The IBM typewriters rattle away, the photocopier is running non-stop and the boss is spraying orders left, right and centre. We’re in 1980, and workplace relations in US businesses are still simply sexist: female office staff are expected to be at the service of the men, who call the shots.
