This absurd, black comedy starring Crispin Glover and Academy Award Nominee David Paymer, is a first-class satire on bureaucracy and alienated labor in modern society. BARTLEBY transports Melville's classic short story, 'Bartleby the Scrivener' into a surreal office complex where Bartleby refuses to perform even the simplest task. Tempers flare as his acts of noncompliance gain momentum, revealing commentary on an America where people are encouraged to apply for jobs they detest.
