Pretty good french movie about the corporate world, and the law of the market wich destroy everything onto his path!! Perhaps it’s not the best movie from the trilogy, but a pretty good one!
[Filmin] Possibly the most complex of the Brizé/Lindon trilogy because it is set from the perspective of those who have to make the decisions. And mixing the personal crisis and the labor crisis, it establishes with Philippe Lemesle a bridge between that unreal capsule of the offices where the dismissal plans are decided, and the reality of the precariousness imposed by the market. A painful and pessimistic film, although the puppet assumes his destiny, underlined by a minimalist and expressive soundtrack by Camille Rocailleux.
Like a prostate exam because it's a real banal probe. It takes a man's unpleasant yet very common black hole reality, spreads it open and examines deep inside. Maybe the problems of an aging factory manager are fascinating to a screenwriter or a movie director, but I can assure you, for those of us who live in the real world, this is just scenes from the rut we come to the movies to escape.
