Plastic Wolves

Description: Review of Plastic Wolves by THE GUARDIAN newspaper “Plastic Wolves is a first film by Caradog James. This is a Welsh Glengarry Glen Ross, stunningly acted by an amateur cast. The main action takes place in a call centre, where employees who miss their sales targets are subjected to escalating degrees of humiliation. These range from having a balloon tied around their neck for every hour of failure to being forced to come to work in a dress. Language is brutal, foul and bigoted. Yet it was not the product of the director’s mind; Caradog wrote the script by scribbling the conversations he overheard while working at a call centre. The sweaty atmosphere reeks of fear for the job and loathing for the customers. You believe every word of it. It was well made, it was narrative and it was riveting.”
