+ talk ‘Cantet’s films and work’

Long before winning the Palme d’or at last year’s Cannes Film Festival for The Class (Entre les murs), director Laurent Cantet made this quietly powerful study of work, family and class relations. When business graduate Franck (Jalil Lespert) returns to his home town to take a management position in the factory where his father has worked for years, he tries to win support from the workers but finds himself caught in the middle between management and his father as layoffs and cutbacks take their toll.
