Film Description: "La poursuite du bonheur (1987) investigates the pursuit of happiness in the late-capitalist world of aggressive merchandising. Endless shots of McDonalds occur, along with Swiss Chalets—far greater in number than the occasional church. The film takes the form of an inquiry into what for many, largely well-heeled people constitutes happiness in today's world." -- Peter Harcourt (source)
