Bartleby

In this moody, introspective drama set in a mid‑century city, a cautious, cautioushearted clerk named Bartleby becomes an unsettling mirror for a bustling office world that treats people as obstacles to efficiency. As the narrator observes Bartleby’s quiet refusals to participate in the daily grind, the film spirals into a meditation on autonomy, alienation, and the limits of mercy. Subtle, somber, and humane, it traces how one person’s steadfast gentleness collides with an indifferent system, leaving us to ponder what it means to resist without losing one’s humanity.
