Bartleby
(2002)|
Herman Melville's classic short story "Bartleby the Scrivener" gets updated in this darkly comic retelling. The boss (David Paymer) of a public records company begins to unravel when he hires a quiet and reserved clerk, Bartleby (Crispin Glover). At first, Bartleby's a welcome addition to the office, but when the boss asks him to perform any task other than filing, the clerk's enigmatic reply -- "I would prefer not to" -- creates consternation.
