To watch tonight on streaming: This great social film contains one of the most poignant scenes in cinema – Cinema News

Directed and written by Stéphane Brizé, Vincent Lindon stars as a factory owner in this powerful and sensitive social drama.

After The Value of a Man, which evoked the daily life of a marginalized employee, and At War, which dealt with the announcement of a layoff plan, A new worldby Stephane Brizé, tells the story of a company executive, his wife and his family, who have to deal with a wave of layoffs.

It is a kind of trilogy that unfolds across three key periods, witnessing the mechanisms of job destruction and its human consequences.

A powerful and sensitive social drama

The much-needed Un autre monde, is a powerful and sensitive social drama that was released in cinemas in 2022. It tells the story of Philippe and his wife who separate as their love is damaged by the pressures of work.

A successful executive at an industrial group, Philippe can no longer meet his management’s incoherent demands. Yesterday they wanted him to be a manager, today they want him to be a “doer.” He is at a point where he needs to decide the meaning of his life.

Stéphane Brizé continues his powerful exploration of the world of work, led by the incredible Vincent Lindon. In this breathtaking and emotionally powerful drama, in which one scene will move you, he wanted to portray the consequences of the work of those who are considered the armed wing of the company, but who are simply individuals caught between a rock and a hard place.

Vincent Lindon incredible, Marie Drucker terrifying

“The film portrays the loss of meaning in the life of a corporate executive who, at the same time as his marriage is falling apart, finds it increasingly difficult to find coherence in a system he has served for years.”explains Stéphane Brizé.

“A system in which it is becoming extremely complicated for him to apply the injunctions that come from the top down”.

We warn you that this film will leave a lasting impression. And you won’t soon forget the moving scene in which young Lucas (Anthony Bajon), during a stay in a psychiatric hospital, is definitely not himself anymore, causing anguish to his father, played by Vincent Lindon.

The actor is at his best here, but we cannot fail to mention the excellent performances of the rest of the cast, from Sandrine Kiberlain to the young Anthony Bajon, without forgetting the surprising Marie Drucker as the bosses’ ruthless arm.

Un autre monde is available in the Mubi streaming catalog.
