Review

A Belgian woman struggles to survive her year at a Japanese company in Fear and Trembling (2003). Amelie (Sylvie Testud) was born in Japan and lived there until she was 5 years old, when her family returned home to Europe. But Amelie continued to romanticize her place of birth, and after graduating from college returns to Tokyo to take an interpreter job at the huge, faceless Yamamoto Corporation. There she stumbles into a world of incomprehensible bureaucracy and seemingly senseless etiquette, where conformity is king and no one is supposed to be too good at their job...least of all a foreigner. Among Amelie's many trials is a scene where she imagines sitting at her desk late at night completely naked, and while it's not scary, it will leave you trembling.
