When the Ken Loach's style encounters Dardenne's brothers' one. One more true, accurate, social movie, as real as you have the feeling to watch actual characters for actual events, the kind you may meet everyday around you. The fierce, ruthless, cruel face of the real world. The actors here are not actually ones, but authentic characters. The way of playing reminds me LE PASSE, I saw two years ago. It doesn't look like a film, I repeat. Vincent Lindon is perfect here, as terrific as usual for such a character. An unemployed guy who, just after losing his job, has to fight every day to survive, to struggle like a dog to help his wife and retarded son to make it in this jungle that life is. So, he eventually finds a job as a security guard in a large department store. For him, that will be a more deeply dive into the fierce ugliness of life.
An outstanding feature that doesn't make you laugh.
