1h 31m
Directed by Stéphane Brizé • Drama • 2015 • France • French with English subtitles
Starring Vincent Lindon, Karine de Mirbeck, Matthieu Schaller
Vincent Lindon won the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival for his performance as unemployed everyman Thierry in his search for work. Nothing if not determinist, Stéphane Brizé's film dispassionately monitors the progress of its stoic protagonist until at last he lands a job on the front line in the surveillance and control of his fellow man and finally faces one too many moral dilemmas.
