"There is no solitude greater than that of the samurai unless it be that of a tiger in the jungle... perhaps..."
I loved Garage by Eldar Ryazanov.

Sadly this version doesn't have subtitles and I haven't found one online that does, but if you know Russian it's absolutely hilarious. The social commentary is pretty transparent.

Brief summary: a committee for the planning and construction of a parking garage for a wildlife preservation institute is having a very tedious meeting. Finally, they reach the last point on their agenda: a road is being built and will intersect part of the territory of the garage, meaning that the garage will have to be smaller than initially planned. As a result, four parking spots will have to be eliminated and the committee leadership has determined which four of the members will have to lose their spots. Those four are, naturally, furious, but the rest of the committee (who all want to go home) handily approves this decision. However, that isn't the end of the meeting, as one of the faculty members felt this decision to be so unjust that she decides to lock the room from the inside and hide the key until they have a better process for deciding who would lose their spots. (It doesn't help when it turns out that a few of the committee's members aren't even faculty at the wildlife preservation institute, but are there as political favors to expedite the construction of the garage.)
