The Closet (2001).
French actor Daniel Auteuil is perfect in the role of Francois Pignon, a shy and anxious accountant who works in a condom factory.
To say he's unpopular there is an understatement. And he fears he'll lose his job, to add to the loss of his wife and teenage son in a recent bitter divorce.
But his neighbour, who has recently moved into his apartment block, gives him some advice about how to save his job by pretending to be gay so that they will be too scared to sack him.
Very funny French comedy, which pokes fun at PC and homophobia.
Gerard Depardieu also gives a hilarious performance playing Santini, an office homophobe, and racist who must now act nice to Pignon or risk losing his own job.
8/10.
