UN ANOTHER WORLD
Kind: Sentimental-workerist melodrama
Directed by Stéphane Brizé. With Vincent Lindon, Sandrine Kiberlain, Anthony Bajon, Marie Druckler, Guillaume Draux, Olivier Lemaire.
A successful business executive, Philippe Lemesle is faced with three crises at the same time: the professional one (the American bosses demand dismissals that are unjustified for him), that of your marriage (choked with too much work) and that of the teenage son (pays the other two crises with manic depression).
Relying as always on an extraordinary Vincent Lindon, Stéphane Brizé from France continues his exploration of the world of work with this film after The law of the market And In warthis time from the point of view of a senior executive leading an industry absorbed by a US giant.
And he conquers us once again (albeit with a few too many concessions to sanctifying music) with the correctness of his portraits, with the ability to stage all the forces that challenge each other (from the workers to the American mega-boss) and with a not at all obvious reference to the dignity of work and its moral values.
Political cinema in the best sense of the term, where the real objective is not so much more or less dominant ideologies but rather a vision of the world where respect for human dignity must never be forgotten.
For those looking for a cinema that you are passionate about.
