Those of you who had good attendance at Sunday school are no doubt familiar with the story of long-suffering, long-tormented Job.
It’s about how Satan goads God into punishing a perfectly nice guy (Job) just to prove that Job is an upstanding, devout fellow when times are bad as well as good. (It’s the ultimate why-do-bad-things-happen-to-good-people allegory.)
Poor Job gets horrible boils all over his body, has his children killed in some sort of tornado, and loses all of his livestock — hey, this wasn’t New York City.
Well, filmmakers Thomas De Napoli and Jack Thomas imagine what the Job story would have looked like if it had taken place in New York. Specifically Williamsburg. With a bunch of hipsters. Hilarity ensues. (Not to give anything away, but the modern-day equivalent of a plague of boils should strike a nerve with even non-hipster New Yorkers.)
