Synopsis

National industry leader Les Papiers Jennings, a multinational carton and packaging company, is restructuring. The regional manager of their branch in Côte-de-Liesse, Saint-Laurent, in the Montreal suburbs, is David Gervais (the last name is an homage to Ricky Gervais, co-creator of the original Office, actor of the corresponding British role with ancestry from Quebec; the first name is taken from the original role's name, David Brent). He will need to compete with the Terrebonne branch and operate an important effort to avoid the shut-down of their branch. He will also have to cope with occasionally rebellious employees. Restructuring is the corporate management term for the act of partially dismantling and reorganizing a company for the purpose of making it more efficient and therefore more profitable. ... Saint-Laurent is one of the largest boroughs of the city of Montreal. ... Motto: Concordia Salus Coordinates: Country Canada Province Quebec Founded 1642 Established 1832 City Mayor Gérald Tremblay Area    - City 366. ... Richard Ricky Gervais (pronounced IPA: ), born June 25, 1961, is an Emmy, Golden Globe and three-time BAFTA winning English comic writer and performer from Reading, Berkshire, England. ... David Brent is a fictional white-collar office middle-manager and one of the principal characters from BBC television comedy The Office, played by co-writer and director Ricky Gervais. ... Terrebonne is a city in western Quebec. ...

David is a failed comedian and rocker who fails to grasp the notion of political correctness. He tends to either make a fool of himself in front of the office crew or make it intensely uncomfortable. The one who seems to enjoy him the most is Sam Bisaillon, former army cadet who worships David. He shares his desk with Louis Tremblay, who is secretly in love with the shy receptionist Anne Viens. The problem is that Anne is engaged to Luc, a macho warehouse employee. Political correctness is the alteration of language to redress real or alleged injustices and discrimination or to avoid offense. ... A cadet is a person who is junior in some way. ...

Production

The Office had already seen foreign adaptation with the American The Office, the French Le Bureau and the non-official German version Stromberg. Image Diffusion International produces the Quebecois incarnation. IDI co-founder Anne-Marie Losique, a well-known television host and producer, says "I saw the original show on DVD and found that it was one of the most risqué and extraordinary shows ever. For me, it's a cult classic [...] we've stayed very faithful to the British series [...] [Like the original series], the show is also set in the suburbs where nothing ever happens".^[3] Surprisingly, Losique claimed that she bought the concept for only 5,000$, according to a 2005 article in Le Soleil.^[4] She has mentioned that French television station Canal+ has shown interest in this version,^[5] despite already producing and broadcasting the French one. Losique already made herself known for importing shows like the American The Simple Life (called La Vie rurale in its Quebec version, its first exportation) starring herself and pop signer Jacynthe and The Surreal Life (Des gens pas ordinaires). The Office (known in Britain as The Office: An American Workplace) is an Emmy Award-winning American television comedy about the day-to-day lives of office employees in the Scranton, Pennsylvania branch of the fictitious Dunder-Mifflin Paper Company. ...

Like the British Office, La Job takes the form of a mockumentary. Twelve episodes for the first season began shooting on July 10, 2006 ^[1] and wraped-up six weeks later,^[6] with a budget of less than 200,000 C$ each and filmed in high-definition. For its first season, as its French counterpart, La Job has adapted directly from the British scripts, rather than creating new ones like in the United States (although the American version did adapt the first episode in this fashion). Initially, there was hesitation over whether to call the show "Le Bureau" (a direct translation identical to the French version) or "La Job" (a Quebec French franglais colloquialism, not a proper French word, for "job"; it exists in France argot, but in the masculine rather than feminine form).^[7] Eventually, La Job was chosen. Reports in the media of the name "Le Job" ^[8] were mistakes.

André St-Pierre is the director of the episodes.^[9] He is best known as the co-director of the Télé-Québec show Les Francs-Tireurs and La Job was his first fiction. Script adaptation was given to Ian Lauzon and Jean-Philippe Granger was made scriptwriter.^[10] Like the American Office, improv veterans were called to fill the shoes of some of the original actors. The role of the David Brent boss was entrusted to Antoine Vézina, an performer of the reputed Ligue nationale d'improvisation (LNI), a Quebec-born concept of improvisational theatre and international improv team competition (Quebec, France, Belgium, Switzerland and Italy). Sophie Cadieux, who holds the role corresponding to Dawn Tinsley, has also taken part in the LNI. Paul Ahmarani, playing La Job's Gareth Keenan, is a great fan of the British series.^[10] About the black humor of the show, he comments: "Personally, when I began watching that show, after five minutes, I knew that I had before my eyes something unique, that would litterally shatter all that we had seen before". On his character, he sums up that "I'm someone that is very much of a coward, so I like to take refuge in military fantasies of virility... I really like to say that I spent three years in the army... I'm a bit of a loser, very right-wing, very militarist".^[11] Sébastien Huberdeau, the Tim Canterbury equivalent, was seen on international screens in The Barbarian Invasions, winner of the 2004 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

It was reported that Anne-Marie Losique made the surprising choice of making Luc Provost audition for the Gareth Keenan character. Provost is better known as the flamboyant drag queen Mado Lamotte. He had just wrapped up shooting Losique's Des gens pas ordinaires when the offer was made. Irony would have been striking for the openly gay Provost playing the slightly homophobe character.

Reality and fiction

Reality and fiction sometimes meet in La Job, like in its American counterpart (see The Office trivia). The actual studios are located in Côte-de-Liesse (part of the Saint-Laurent borough in Montreal), near Highway 20, where the Papiers Jennings branch is located in the series. Some scenes have also been shot at the Bar Zeffé, a bar located near the main set that keeps its real name within the show. Built for the series, the shooting set is said to be ready to be converted into a real office space overnight. Shooting is done without spotlights, only with the office neon lights.^[10] The neighbourhood paper Saint-Laurent News provides the show with fake newspapers used in filming.^[3] The Office (known in Britain as The Office: An American Workplace) is an Emmy Award-winning American television comedy about the day-to-day lives of office employees in the Scranton, Pennsylvania branch of the fictitious Dunder-Mifflin Paper Company. ...
